We recently featured some examples of art jewelry being worn—here and here—so we thought we’d follow up by exploring the idea of whether art jewelry has to be worn at all. Can installation work be considered jewelry and live within our field?

AJF believes that making information about jewelry as an art form available is an important step in advocating for the field. We are pleased to create a digital library to support the jewelry community by providing online access to jewelry scholarship that would otherwise be impossible to find.
