A mesmerizing study in mid-century menswear elegance, these vintage Swank Medusa earrings (originally designed as statement cufflinks and now collected as bold unisex adornment) capture the brand’s signature fusion of mythic symbolism and refined craftsmanship.

Each piece features a sculpted Medusa head — expressive, commanding, and richly dimensional — cast in a radiant gold-tone metal with unmistakable Swank precision. Her serpentine halo is rendered in dynamic, sunburst-like detail, giving the design an energy that feels both ancient and modern.

Anchoring the motif is Swank’s iconic textured mesh tab, a hallmark element that adds movement, light play, and architectural balance to the composition. The result is an accessory that reads as wearable art: mythological glamour with a sleek mid-century finish.
