All the expressiveness of Medusa condenses into the oval form of the bezel of this ring. Calm, serene, seraphic. The face among the most moulded, sculpted and reproduced in existence — on this jewel it speaks intimately, to us. She is peaceful, enveloped, composed. She knows who she is, and carries with her the quietness of one who has no need to declare it. Her charisma is entirely inward. Her fascination lives in the steady, penetrating gaze she has always turned towards us.

The bordeaux enamel of this model envelops her, clothes her — almost a garment draped over this portrait. The most majestic and at the same time most placid aspect of her is perfectly expressed by this smooth enamel that coats the bronze with density. The ring has substance, has presence. The oval frame follows every line of the face — the symmetry of the Greek nose, the serpents becoming pure decoration. Remarkable how each colour renders her still more composed and steady. Including this bordeaux, which nourishes, which caresses.

White moulds her like plaster, like freshly worked kaolin — a mineral candour that defines her every feature, as though she had just been carved. Pearl gives her an iridescence that makes her almost live, almost speak, in an ever-calm tone — a smooth, soft and reflective voice through the lustre of pearls. Pale blue immerses her in a pure lightness — almost suspended, where everything is air, distance and a sense of freedom. Pink holds a tenderness of its own — a red that is being born, that is arriving, gentle and steady together, carrying within it all the essence of something that is blossoming. It is blooming.
