Dave’s Picks Vol. 11 – Officially Licensed Grateful Dead Pendant
Sterling silver • Handcrafted inlay • Limited edition of 13
This officially licensed pendant brings to life the album artwork from Dave’s Picks Volume 11, a recording which features Grateful Dead’s legendary performance on May 17, 1978, at Folsom Field in Boulder, Colorado. A fan-favorite for its whimsical artwork, the album cover is reimagined here in striking detail with a joyful skeleton in flower crown and overalls standing alongside beloved characters from the Land of Oz. The surreal, technicolor backdrop captures the sense of wonder and fantasy that defines both the show and the Dead’s timeless spirit.
The sterling silver frame houses meticulous inlay work using materials such as turquoise, spiny oyster shell, jet, mother of pearl, and lab opal. Every element—from the brilliant pink-and-gold sky to the swirling birds overhead—is carefully hand-set, creating a radiant, miniature work of art that reflects the vibrancy and imagination of the original illustration. The intricate linework, vivid contrasts, and psychedelic palette make this piece as much a visual trip as it is a tribute.
More than just a piece of jewelry, this pendant channels the creative energy of the Grateful Dead’s visual legacy. It’s a nod to the playful symbolism that defined their album covers, posters, and stage art—bridging music, mythology, and visual storytelling into a wearable piece for devoted Dead Heads. It invites you to carry a slice of Boulder’s magical 1978 show with you, immortalized in metal and stone.
Officially licensed and limited to just 13 pieces, this pendant is both a collector’s keepsake and a celebration of psychedelic Americana at its finest. A radiant reminder that, like the music itself, the story is always still unfolding.
Each piece of our jewelry is handmade and crafted with natural materials. Variations in color and pattern are part of the process, so your piece may differ slightly from the photo — making it truly yours.
