Arts and Crafts jewelers were
opposed to any specialization
of their craft; each piece of
jewelry was made, start to
finish, by one craftsman. They
preferred to work mostly in
silver, using uncut and
cabachon-cut stones. In the
Art and Crafts Period Color
was very important and many
pieces were brightly enameled.
Although much of the jewelry
attributed to this movement
was poorly done, being the
work of students and untrained
amateurs, there were a number
of jewelers who were members
of the guilds - C. R. Ashbee,
Henry Wilson, Arthur Gaskin,
Omar Ramsden, Phoebe Trauair
and Harold Stabler, naming a
few - who produced quality
jewelry for which the movement
is known. |
