Signed – Boucher 3366p

Boucher is possibly one of the best designers of costume jewellery in America. This talented designer began his career in 1920's Paris, studying/apprenticed to Pierre Cartier. In 1937 he established Marcel Boucher et Cie in New York, where he produced the most exquisite costume jewellery, it was often mistaken for the "real" thing. Marcel died in 1965 his wife, Sandra, led the company until 1972. Not only does this pretty flower brooch bare the signature of Boucher it is also, very helpfully, stamped with “carnation”. The gold tone metal has been fashioned into a very pretty carnation, with frilly petals, a single white faux pearl in the center. Measures approx. 7.7x3.5cm
