Caravaggio Medusa Wood Earrings

These rectangular wooden statement earrings showcase a captivating micro-detail extract from Medusa (1597), the iconic Baroque masterpiece by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, housed at the Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence. Painted as a possible self-portrait of the artist, the work captures the mythological Gorgon at the precise moment of decapitation — suspended between rage and astonishment. By isolating this extraordinary detail, these earrings become a profound piece of museum-inspired handmade jewellery designed for devotees of the dark academia aesthetic, gothic elegance, and classical mythology.

Individually handcrafted in my studio in Granada, Spain, each earring measures 3.5 cm x 4 cm and is meticulously hand-cut from sustainable wood — sourced from FSC-certified suppliers as raw material, though the final product is not itself FSC-certified — to ensure a truly unique, non-industrial finish. These exceptionally lightweight earrings are completed with premium 925 sterling silver hooks.

By choosing this piece of fine art reproduction jewellery, you directly support conscious slow-fashion practices and ethical artisan trade over mass production. Their deep art-historical narrative makes them an extraordinary unique gift for art lovers, serving as a highly meaningful art historian graduation gift, a thoughtful teacher appreciation token, or an eccentric surprise for a close friend, sister, or partner. The earrings arrive beautifully presented in a custom-designed, eco-friendly gift envelope.
