John Bryan (1897-1982) MCM Sterling Enamel Pin. Great design, no damage or detectable wear. 1 5/8" wide 10.9 grams John William Bryan was born in 1897 in North Carolina. He was a journalist and teacher in New York for a time, but returned to Asheville, North Carolina in the 1950's to start jewelry crafting. It is not understood how he moved from one profession to the next. His jewelry was mostly abstract in design, as was most of the other hand crafted jewelry of the time. He worked in sterling silver and enamel, as far as is known. His work was sold mostly in the Southern Highlands Handicraft Guild located in Asheville, North Carolina, which had been established in the 1930's to educate the region and arts community on the importance of craft and its ability to impact the local creative economy. John Bryan died in 1982 in North Carolina.
