About the Arts and Crafts Movement: The Arts & Crafts Movement mainly originated in the late 19th century as a reaction against "soulless" machine products against the backdrop of the booming and more mature Industrial Revolution. The original concept was developed by British William. William Morris and John. John Ruskin and others proposed that they emphasize the pursuit of nature and the combination of craftsmanship and craftsmanship, and oppose the disconnect between design and production. Therefore, jewelry under the Arts and Crafts movement style is not made by machines, but only by hand, and integrates flowers, plants, insects and various natural themes into the design. In addition to jewelry, the scope of influence extends to life such as architecture, furniture, utensils, etc. It has influenced the entire Europe and North America, and is often regarded as the enlightenment of the Art Nouveau period. Although it is similar to the French Art Nouveau period, there are still many differences in style or content between the two.
