In Greek mythology, the brave Perseus must venture into the lair of a beautiful but fearsome Gorgon to save his beloved Princess Andromeda. The challenge he faces is insurmountable, because to look directly at the winged monster is to turn to stone forever. This legendary story has been told and retold over the centuries, but it’s the Gorgon we remember most. She was cursed by the Goddess Athena to live as a mortal hybrid with serpents in place of her once-beautiful hair. Today, she’s known as Medusa, and she’s a character that our master goldsmith Rob is continually inspired by.
