 Marcel Boucher (1930s - 1971)
Marcel Boucher Was Born In France And Trained As An Apprentice To Cartier.
He Immigrated To The Unites States In The Early 1920's And During The Early 1930's Designed Jewelry For The Mazer Brothers In New York.
In 1937, He Established The Marcel Boucher And Cie Company In New York And Ran It Until His Death In 1965 When His Wife, Sandra Boucher Who Was Also A Jewelry Designer, Took Over.
Boucher Produced The Most Exquisite Costume Jewelry, Unsurpassed By Any Other, Until It Became A Subsidiary Of The Dovorn Industries, A Watch Manufacturing Company In 1972.
Boucher's Jewelry Reflected The Classical Tradition With Highly Creative And Imaginative Designs Utilizing Excellent Rhinestones Resembling Gemstones.
Technically Superb With Excellent Metalwork, His Costume Jewelry Can Easily Be Mistaken For The 'Real Thing'.
While Marcel Boucher's Talent And Creativity Has Placed Him Among The Very Best Of Costume Jewelry Designers And Producers, His Work Is Just Beginning To Be Fully Appreciated.
Accordingly, All Of His Jewelry Is Collectible And Expected Rise In Prices.
Signatures On Boucher Jewelry Include ?Marcel Boucher?, Marboux?, ?MB Sterling?, ?Phrygian Cap?, ?Boucher?, And ?Boucher ??.
