About the Item

Extraordinary Marcel Boucher Early Orchid Brooch from the late 1930's. Dimensional and large brooch with amazing design and signature square cut faux ruby stones used primarily by Boucher. This brooch is designed in pieces and assembled like fine jewelry with extremely tight pave rhinestone work with tapered baguettes. Collector quality, the finest in period faux jewelry, a brooch of this high quality rarely comes to market. High rhodium original finish. 3" x 3.25" in height. Unsigned. 1930's USA. Born in Paris, Marcel Boucher worked as a jewelry designer for Cartier, who brought him to the United States. In the 1930s, he took a job with Mazer Bros., where he worked until he founded his own company in 1937. Boucher made a name for himself creating bold, imaginative, enameled pieces that were individual works of art, with brooches shaped like fruits, animals, and human figures.
