From Gorgon to Paragon
A stone dead gaze, A petrifying sound to echo through the ages
Born as a beautiful mortal,
Medusa was one of the three Gorgon daughters.
She was condemned by the goddess of war, Athena,
to be turned into a hideous monster with snakes for hair
and eyes that could turn anyone who looked into them into stone.
That is until the mythic hero Perseus
challenged & slayed the gorgon.
This was successfully accomplished by his resourcefulness & quick thinking
of using his shield's reflection as a guide in battle to avoid the gorgon's gaze.
Upon slaying Medusa,
Perseus used her head as a weapon on his following quests
before gifting it over to Athena, who would go on to
mount the gorgon's head onto her own shield - The Aegis.
How It's Crafted
The pick was designed by our wise craftswoman, Sofia, and inspired by the Myth of Medusa.
The Material is made out of a marble-like stone & acrylic composite,
as if it was chiseled off the victims of the gorgon and handcrafted
back from gruesome to beautiful like Medusa before her affliction.
(from Gorgon to Paragon)
Each pick is engraved with the iconic head of Medusa,
a symbol of heroism, bravery, & protection.
An image to repel evil & worthy to adorn the shield of the goddess of war.
This engraving also features a green pearlescent color fill
with green UV reactive resin that glows in the dark.
(Shines brightest under UV Blacklight)
Each pick is individually sanded by hand & finished into two distinct textures.
The faces of the picks are done in a smooth satin finish for grip
and a contrasting gloss finish on the edges & bevels.
Smooth & subtle to the touch with a sleek look.
How It Feels
The pick itself is very comfortable...
The soft satin, the grip, the hefty weight of the material,
the smoothness across the strings & the thunderous sound.
It's all enough to initially petrify the senses
before making every last riff rock to the fullest.
Feel the victory of Perseus between your fingers
and behold the head of the gorgon as a sonic paragon to be echoed into eternity.
The new "Tyrian Purple" plectrum features a gold pearl engraving & reflects a reddish hue that coincides with its alternate color name of "Phoenician Red".
These new royal purple plectrums are crafted from a hefty 5mm stone & acrylic hybrid material for a weighty feel & superb playability that acrylic is known for.
It's the best of both worlds!
In the realm of guitar picks, we are proud to unveil the "Emperor's Jade," a regal addition to our collection that embodies the opulence and mystique of ancient imperial treasures.
Inspired by the illustrious Imperial Jade, a gemstone historically reserved for Chinese emperors and often associated with nobility and perfection, our Emperor's Jade plectrum is a tribute to this symbol of power and prosperity.
The vibrant green hue, laced with golden veins, not only captures the visual splendor of the stone but also pays homage to the Jade Emperor, a key figure in Chinese mythology who presides over the heavens and embodies the virtues of wisdom & fairness.

This thing is amazing!
...but that was silly! I bought this pick as an experiment but was sure it would feel awkward. I was very surprised at how comfortable this felt to hold and strike with, considering the thickness. I really like it. The craftsmanship is superb and detailed. This will likely last me forever.
Works fine! Very well in fact!
Wasn't sure how much I would like a pick this thick, but it just feels right. Even a 2.5mm pick feels incredibly thin after playing this. Its great for heavy riffing. It's a bid wider of a pick then I like, with the thickness it feels a little too much. I'd prefer this thickness, just on a narrower pick. It's an overall awesome pick, but im going to return it. It's hard to justify the cost on something im not absolutely in love with.
Love the pick. I have several and they are all so great.
