Jewelry That Makes You Think.
PHOTO ESSAY
AJF Members Share a Prized Piece from Their Collections—Number 4

We've published a few of these by now, so you probably know how it works: AJF members pore over the jewelry they own, choose their current favorite or a piece that’s especially noteworthy, and send in a photo along with the reason they selected it. This series aims to offer some insight into what our members think is important in the field, but we also hope it will expose more contemporary artists not only to our community, but beyond it.
