In the earliest Greek myths, Medusa had the power to petrify with her terrifying gaze. In the Greek Classical period, artistic depictions began to idealize her as a “dangerous beau ty.” Her head, adorned with snake-like hair, was widely featured on mosaics, vases, and bas-reliefs. Though lethal to others, her snaky image was believed to protect its owner from enemy threats. As a nod to Medusa's protective power, this necklace set features a serpentine charm holder. A vivid blue glass charm is looped onto the snake's body as an evil eye amulet to ward off negative energy and protect the wearer. 16-18 inch adjustable 10K chain with snake-shaped charm holder. Blue glass pendant set in oxidized silver with 18K bale. Show more
