Greetings!
AJF is a global community made up of writers, collectors, galleries, makers, and readers like you. Every one of you is important to making AJF possible.
But we would particularly like to recognize the generosity of Susan Beech, Michael and Karen Rotenberg, and Sofia Björkman from Platina|Stockholm for supporting the 2016 AJF Artist Award. It is through their help that AJF is able to provide this opportunity to a deserving young artist to win a cash prize, and for the winner and four finalists to exhibit their work during Schmuck in Munich, Germany. The application process is open until November 15. Please encourage young, enterprising, compelling artists you know to apply.
Also we have a special offer for galleries and schools that make a first-time donation of support to AJF. By entering the coupon code LIBRARY during checkout, AJF will send them two complimentary copies of the most recent AJF publications, along with the standard benefits, including two 2015 AJF pins. Please take a moment and talk to the schools and galleries in your part of the world about the importance of supporting AJF.

We are happy to share with you Lizzie Atkins's essay on jewelry parades: she takes stock of a relatively new phenomenon--jewelers taking their work to the street--and analyzes the stakes of engaging directly with passersby, and bringing this insular art form to a wider, non-initiated public.
