Miguel Martinez Rancho Alegre Sterling silver turquoise Chile pin 2.5" wide x 1.25" tall x 14 grams with no issues. Martinez started his career designing for Emma Melendez in Taxco in the early 1950s before becoming the head designer at Rancho Alegre in the mid 1950s to the late 1960s, and he has continued to design great things ever since. He is a designer not a silversmith, so his pieces can have marks from several different workshops. Often, not always, his pieces are also marked "Miguel", but many of his pieces from the 1950s from Rancho Alegre don't have the extra designer mark. However, his pieces are readily recognizable by the strength of the design!

Spilla moderna di metà secolo con sfera degli anni '60 Otto Robert Bade larga 3 pollici senza piegature o ammaccature.Otto R. BadeUn argentiere autodidatta, le cui radici provengono da una fattoria nel Nebraska. Otto, che aveva visitato suo nonno, in visita all'Esposizione Universale del 1940, si rese conto che non voleva intraprendere la vita di agricoltore così, nel 1941, andò a New York per scoprire il suo futuro, rispose ad un solo annuncio di lavoro e si presentò al colloquio. Frank (Francisco) Rebajes ha spiegato che stava cercando qualcuno che prendesse le opere d'arte del suo studio e aumentasse la capacità di produzione. Ha detto a Otto "Guarda cosa puoi fare" e ha consegnato a Otto uno dei suoi pezzi preferiti, "Ubangi Face". Alla fine della giornata Frank rimase stupito. Otto aveva creato alcune maschere e un processo per produrre in serie l'arte di Frank. Otto realizzò in un solo giorno, cento spille perfette scolpite con il volto di Ubangi. Frank capì allora che il suo sogno era quello di fornire arte indossabile ai le messe sarebbero state ora realizzate.Frank Rebajes era considerato il primo maestro nell'arte della gioielleria e dell'artigianato in rame e Otto era il caposquadra che assicurava che i disegni fossero prodotti ad arte e magistralmente. Ancora più importante, Frank e Otto godevano di un'amicizia che sarebbe durata tutta la vita.Rebajes Wearable Art è stato uno dei principali produttori di gioielli negli anni '40 e '50 con centinaia di negozi di punta in tutta la nazione che vendevano la linea. Otto, con decenni di esperienza come argentiere, lasciò l'azienda e iniziò la propria attività "Orb Originals" nel 1958 con molto successo. Frank vendette il nome e l'attività Rebajes a Otto nel 1960 e si trasferì in Spagna dove tornò al lavoro in un piccolo studio e alla ricerca scientifica sul "Möbius".Con la crescita dell'attività di Otto, aveva aggiunto l'officina, i macchinari e disegni di cataloghi di Rebajes. Gli affari continuarono a crescere e ad andare abbastanza bene, fino al 1981, quando Otto fu trattenuto e colpito con una pistola, lasciandolo in condizioni critiche. Dopo un lungo recupero dalle ferite, Otto e sua moglie Dae si trasferirono a New Hope, Pennsylvania.Orb Silvermiths rimane ancora oggi un punto fermo per la comunità di New Hope, Pennsylvania. Otto, ormai novantenne, è ancora determinante nel garantire che il marchio Rebajes porti avanti le tradizioni e l'artigianato che hanno reso il nome Rebajes così famoso e ricercato per oltre ottant'anni.

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.

Mao Zedong (1893-1976) was the founding father of the People’s Republic of China, which he governed from 1949 until his death. Chairman Mao is one of the most significant figures in modern world history, and also among its most controversial. His ability to modernize China, drive out imperialists, improve healthcare and education, and promote the status of women is as undeniable as his profound human rights abuses. Some estimate that Mao was responsible for 70 million deaths in his long reign—the most ever in human history.

Sterling Stuart NYE Pinecones Brooch Handmade. Nice vintage piece in good condition. 1.5" square About Stuart Nye In the depths of the depression, Stuart Nye bought some second hand tools and a little silver. Without any experience in jewelry or metal work, but with good taste, an eye for beauty and faith in himself, he began to make a few simple bangle bracelets. Through trial and error he learned the nature of his materials and began to fashion silver into the leaves and flowers so characteristic of our jewelry today. From that day in 1933 when Mr. Nye began, our shop has changed in many ways. It has moved from an attic room through a series of additions to a garage to the rustic building built especially for our use in 1948 which we now call "The Shop".
