Dave’s Picks Vol. 12 – 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 12, a recording featuring Grateful Dead’s legendary performance at the Colgate University campus in Hamilton, NY, on November 4, 1977. The intricate design features a stone wall Steal Your Face being constructed amid scaffolding and ruins—an evocative metaphor for rebirth, transformation, and timeless resonance.
Set in a detailed backdrop of carved mother of pearl clouds and vibrant earth tones, the image brings the album's symbolic imagery to life. Each element, from the crumbling buildings to the lush green hills, is carefully inlaid with a blend of natural stones including apple coral, mother of pearl, and turquoise, echoing the psychedelic essence of the original artwork with texture and dimension.
This limited edition pendant is more than wearable art—it’s a celebration of one of the Grateful Dead’s most beloved performances. Known for its explosive versions of “Eyes of the World” and “The Other One,” the Colgate show is hailed as one of the finest from the band's powerful 1977 run. The pendant honors that energy in shimmering form.
Whether you're a lifelong Dead Head or a collector of unique handcrafted jewelry, this piece is a stunning tribute to both the music and its enduring visual language.
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.
