Round white diamonds illuminate her eyes, while further diamond-set bands encircle her head, neck, and undulating locks. The contrast between the softly textured gold of the face and the polished, deeply sculpted strands of hair lends the composition an almost theatrical sense of movement.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eDavid Webb's fascination with mythology, classical antiquity, and expressive figural jewelry finds a compelling interpretation in this piece. Throughout his career, the American jeweler drew upon ancient imagery and sculptural traditions, translating them into jewels distinguished by generous proportions, bold goldwork, and an unmistakable sense of character. Here, Medusa is rendered not as a fearsome creature but as an arresting, almost regal presence, her flowing hair forming an elaborate frame around her face.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eMeasuring approximately 2.25 inches in both directions and weighing 60 grams, the jewel possesses the scale of a miniature gold sculpture. Its dual function as a pendant and brooch allows the composition to be worn at the neckline or upon a jacket, where the relief of the goldwork and the concentrated brilliance of the diamonds can be appreciated.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cem\u003eAn ancient myth reimagined in gold, its mystery preserved in a pair of diamond eyes.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e David Webb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1980s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18K Yellow Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStones \u0026amp; Carat Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Round white diamonds; total carat weight not specified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 2.25 inches high × 2.25 inches wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60.0 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sculptural Medusa motif with flowing gold hair and diamond-set accents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure \/ Mechanics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Convertible pendant and brooch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent vintage condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"David Webb","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67919436448017,"sku":"PI65180","price":19500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0905\/9008\/5393\/files\/Screenshot_2026-04-11_at_7_3357084_Product_Beautifier_4373666.jpg?v=1793301802","url":"https:\/\/www.odeoncollection.com\/products\/david-webb-medusa-diamond-pendant-brooch-in-18k-yellow-gold-1980s","provider":"Odeon Collection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
