AJF believes that making information about jewelry as an art form 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 difficult to find. AJF believes that essays, dissertations, and other writing about art jewelry—as well as videos—deserve to be readily accessible, researched, and savored.
