Owl in the Tree
One of my favourites, the photos don't do this pin justice. The picture of an owl peeping from green curtains is itself framed in a silver holder behind glass, attached to a silver tree. Six peridots stud the trunk and branches. But there's more.
Turn the pin over, and you see through a window in the tree to a picture of a sleeper beneath the moon. The back of the tree is as detailed as the front.
I often choose this pin when I'm pretty sure the day's going to go well. Christy and I took it easy all day, and we're going out to dinner with friends tonight, so a good pin for good times. It was designed by Dawn Estrin & George Wilson, who create lots of other lovely things too. Christmas is only five months away...

I love this pin. Someone special must have given it to you, because something like that is quite rare.
Someone very special indeed ;)
