92 year old jeweler (I would call him “artist”), John Paul Miller has 50 of his brilliant pieces on display at the Cleveland Museum of Art until January 2, 2011. Beautiful and magical.

His jewelry is often about “…fleeting creatures of earth, sea, and sky—snails, squids, crabs, moths, and flies…inspiring a complicated palette of seductive enamels and textured forms. Historical reference and modern abstraction also infuse his designs, bringing together that which he saw and that which he imagined to form a body of work full of curiosity and self-expression.”
