"One of the defining features of Etruscan jewelry is the intricate metalworking techniques employed by their skilled artisans. The Etruscans were masters of granulation, a technique where tiny gold beads are meticulously applied to create intricate patterns and designs. They also excelled in filigree work, crafting delicate wire motifs and intertwining them to form elaborate designs. Additionally, they used repoussé and engraving techniques to add depth and detail to their pieces"
