PHOTO ESSAY
AJF Members Share a Prized Piece from Their Collections
Number 2, Part 2
by Nathalie Mornu

It's a simple premise: Pore over the jewelry you own, select your current favorite or a piece you consider especially noteworthy, send in a photo to share with readers, and tell us why you selected it. For this edition, we invited only AJF members to contribute. The only criteria were that they must own the piece and that it must have been made by someone other than themselves. The responses were so numerous that we split this edition in two parts! Thanks for your patience in waiting for Part 2 to publish.

Wednesday, April 28, 11 a.m. EST
Note: This event takes place one hour earlier than usual.
 
Join us for AJF Live with Heejoo Kim, a Seoul-based artist who mainly talks about life and time, using metal electroforming and enamel. The color expressed in the enamel evokes the unconscious nostalgia shared by all human beings and suggests the time of the aeons, inspiring us to imagine the past of the past. 

This event is free, and open to members and non-members alike. For more information and to register, follow this link.
