"
Traditional ex-votos and contemporary jewelry both raise similar questions and concerns for viewers: What do they mean? What are they telling us? Their social purposes are different ... but both are the product of materialized wishes: ex-votos and contemporary jewels are made with the techniques of the same trade, and both have things to say."
PLUS a
mini-symposium will be open to the public on Sunday, January 14.

Jewelry shows us humanity's beauty and glory while acknowledging loss with ceremony and sentiment, like in this piece by Keith Lewis, memorializing friends lost to AIDS.
AJF records the stories behind the jewelry that would otherwise be lost. Donate to ensure that both the artist's and the wearer's stories are documented, savored, and shared.
If you don't support jewelry as an art form, who will?
