I'm interested in popularizing some of the pure mathematical achievements that are regarded among elite pure mathematicians as being of great aesthetic value.

Sweet! Do you know of any existing works that attempt this (perhaps at a higher level of sophistication)? Also, what are the mathematical achievements you would focus on?

One good compilation of "pure mathematical achievements that are regarded among elite pure mathematicians as being of great aesthetic value" is Proofs from THE BOOK.
