PHOTO ESSAY
AJF Members Share a Prized Piece from Their Collections
Number 2, Part 1
by Nathalie Mornu

The premise is simple: 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 response was overwhelming—we had to split this edition in two parts! We'll publish Part 2 next Monday.

AJF believes that making information available about jewelry as an art form is an important step in advocating for the field. Our digital library supports the jewelry community by providing online access to jewelry scholarship that would otherwise be impossible to find. The photo above shows just a few of the scores of PDFs that are freely accessible in AJF's Library. You'll find dissertations, magazine articles, exhibition catalogs, and more. Please add your own; submit your digital media to our Library to share with AJF's readers.
