These hand-painted memento mori enamels are just about the greatest thing! I cannot tell you how much I love these, and how stoked I was to get to make a pendant-bezel design for them. After much agonizing, we selected four of them (to start…) 18K

These enamels were painted by Olga Doutkevitch.

This one might be my favorite because I’m a sucker for crows. We have a crew that seasonally raid the walnut trees up the hill from our house. They knock the walnuts off and as they drop into the street they begin to roll down the hill, the crows hopping after them. Quite a scene.
