BOUCHER 1937-1971

Marcel Boucher was one of
costume jewelry’s most respected designers. He began by as a model maker
for Cartier in New York City then moved on to create his own line in about 1937. Making jewelry with the marks "MB", "Boucher"
and "Marboux", his designs were fluid and detailed and his enamels have a
colorful translucent quality that
make them a particular favorite. A Boucher collector tells me that
Boucher often offered 3 variations of a design, one all paved for the
Holidays, one enamel for Spring and one in gold and pave for the
Summer/Fall season.

MB BOUCHER unsigned hand holding torch fur clip circa 1942. It is a hand holding torch of liberty with a
big pink faceted glass flame set in gold- and silver-tone, 3". It is marked only "patn
pend" but the patent is #131,798, Boucher, circa 1942. There is also an
advertisement from that era saying it is by Boucher. There are
very minute
fleabites in the pink flame, barely visible and only under 5x magnification,
with and light finish wear on the gold tone arm. This can be worn as a
patriotic piece or solely for it’s beauty.

Patent #B42644 $798.00

MB BOUCHER Premiere Fleur brooch with aqua blue molded glass and clear
rhinestones. It has the single initial "D" on the back and it is
2-1/2" by 2-1/3", circa 1940. In a very faint hand engraved numbers is
"91-66-27", also on the back. Like some other jewelry from this era, the pin back opens only 45%
of the way, and it should not be forced. This glass line of jewelry came
as a brooch and also a set of fur clips, and there’s also another ad for a more simple brooch. An
ad for a brooch from this group was run in "Mademoiselle Magazine" in
the March 1940 edition. Another
brooch in this series can be seen in the Deanna Cera book "Amazing Gems"
on page 125 where she dates it 1937.

MB BOUCHER figural fish brooch in gold plated sterling with a
topaz colored unfoiled rhinestone belly and clear rhinestone accents, 3" by
2". The design is amazing with ruffled and overlapping fins and tail and a
swirl for an eye. This is not signed well and I think it was mis-struck
because all you can see is the tip of the

Boucher Phrygian cap mark, but it is also
marked with "V 8" . The Boucher patent number 139,675 also
confirms that this is by Boucher and was made in 1944, and it’s a
wonderful piece to own and to wear. This is a fish with dimension and personality!
