The Arts and Crafts period emerged at the turn of the century as a reaction against the industry and machinery that had begun to infiltrate culture, arts, and design. Proponents of the Arts and Crafts Movement argued true art and true craftsmanship must be done by an artisan, not by a machine or by an assembly line of people. They believed that the original creative endeavor of an individual artisan would bring its own distinct pleasure, not only to the working class makers but to the person wearing it. On Cannetille. Cannetille is like filigree, but more three dimensional. Formed from incredibly thin wires or sheets of silver or gold, cannetille is ornate and textural, creating plenty of play with light. The technique emerged during the Georgian era and has been used in jewelry ever since. _gsrx_vers_1326 (GS 8.4.1 (1326))
