John Bryan (1897-1982) MCM Sterling Enamel Pin/Earrings set

Description

John Bryan (1897-1982) MCM Sterling Enamel Pin/Earrings set. Great set from the<br>50's or 60's with no significant issues. One earrling with slight crazing in the<br>enamel on the edge, I believe it happened in initial firing rather than damage<br>later. Earrings 1" long, pin 1 5/8" wide. 12.6 grams total.<br><br>John William Bryan was born in 1897 in North Carolina. He was a journalist and<br>teacher in New York for a time, but returned to Asheville, North Carolina in the<br>1950's to start jewelry crafting. It is not understood how he moved from one<br>profession to the next. His jewelry was mostly abstract in design, as was most<br>of the other hand crafted jewelry of the time. He worked in sterling silver and<br>enamel, as far as is known. His work was sold mostly in the Southern Highlands<br>Handicraft Guild located in Asheville, North Carolina, which had been<br>established in the 1930's to educate the region and arts community on the<br>importance of craft and its ability to impact the local creative economy. John<br>Bryan died in 1982 in North Carolina.
