Mama Mia, this is quite a statement piece designed by Tagliamonte.  It is crafted in 18K yellow gold.  It starts out with a textured oval link chain that showcases 4 oval Venetian glass intaglios in a red, each one has a different mythological scene.  Starting from left to right, Cupid riding the waves on a small sailboat; then there are 2 cherubs playing; Apollo on the back of a whale; Aphrodite admonishing Cupid!  But the focal point of the necklace is the large 18K gold cameo with the mighty and powerful Medusa found at the center of the piece. Between each cameo is a classic Tagliamonte column with rubies and pearls.  Oh my!  This is quite a piece to treasure for a lifetime!
