Versace Medusa Ring

Q: What is this ring made of?
A: It is described as gold-tone metal. Versace fashion jewellery typically features a galvanic gold finish over a base metal (often brass), giving the look of gold without being solid gold.

Q: What does size 18 mean in other sizing systems?
A: Size 18 usually refers to an inner diameter of about 18 mm. That is roughly a UK P–Q and around a US 8–8.25 (inner circumference approximately 56.5–57 mm). Band width and personal fit can cause small variations, so measuring a ring that already fits the intended finger is the safest approach.

Q: Can this gold-tone ring be resized?
A: Resizing plated/base‑metal rings is generally not recommended because heat and soldering can damage or remove the finish. Some jewellers may offer minor adjustments or add sizing beads/guards inside the band, but large changes are often impractical for plated pieces.

Q: Is Versace jewellery nickel‑free and hypoallergenic?
A: Versace states that its fashion jewellery is lead‑ and nickel‑free and made with hypoallergenic materials. As with any vintage item, exact composition can vary by collection and era, so if you have a known metal sensitivity, introduce wear gradually and monitor your skin’s response.

Q: Will the gold‑tone finish tarnish or fade?
A: All plated finishes can show wear over time from friction, moisture, cosmetics, and perfume. To prolong the colour and shine, avoid contact with water, lotions, and fragrances; remove before exercising or swimming; wipe after wear with a soft dry cloth; and store in its dust bag away from direct sunlight.

Q: What is the significance of the Medusa emblem?
A: The Medusa is Versace’s signature house symbol, widely adopted in the early 1990s, representing allure, power, and timeless classical influence—making Medusa pieces instantly recognisable and collectible.

Q: Is this ring unisex?
A: Yes. Versace rings are styled for anyone who likes the aesthetic. Choose your preferred fit and size regardless of gender.

Q: How should I check my ring size at home?
A: Measure the inner diameter of a ring that fits the same finger with a ruler or calliper, or wrap a thin strip of paper around the finger to find the inner circumference, then compare to a conversion chart. Remember wider bands can feel tighter than slim bands.

Q: What accessories are included with this item?
A: This ring comes with a dust bag, as listed under Accessories.
