About these earrings

Besides its striking beauty, you will never feel better protected whilst escorted by one of the greatest Greek heroes—Perseus, the slayer of the snake-haired Gorgon monster Medusa (pictured on his shield). Meticulously hand carved in high relief against a translucent carnelian background, the stern griffin-helmeted hero centers a consummate and sizable Victorian pendant/brooch, elegantly hand fabricated in 18K rose gold, studded with glinting rose-cut diamonds totaling 2.00 carats, and encircled by lustrous natural pearls. The matching earrings feature Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war, and Perseus's assistant in beheading the dreadful Medusa. Pristine, superb, versatile, and striking museum-worthy showstoppers. Circa 1850. The pin stem is conveniently removable to make a comfortable pendant (chain not included).
