Beautiful ribbons of round and baguette cut rhinestones create a stylized feather brooch by Marcel Boucher. This brooch is marked © Boucher with the inventory number 8135P. It is said that the copyright symbol was added to the Boucher stamp after 1955. I would guess that this is a late 1950s or early 1960s piece. Bright silver toned rhodium plating simply shines.

Measurements

Brooch measures 3.5 inches by 1.25 inches

Condition

We replaced one of the baguette stones, but it is underneath one of the ribbons and you can’t see it.

Grade: Very Good

Each earring is marked several times including the © BOUCHER mark, indicating it was manufactured post 1955. One earring also carries the inventory number 7398. They sit at an angle on the ear with the pearls up against the face and the leaf running up the ear lobe.

Leaf is over 1.5 inches in length and the earring is 1 inch at it’s widest.

Condition

On the tips of the leaf stem, some of the gold toned plating has come off. It is visible in the photo.

Marcel Boucher necklace has the phrygian cap MB signature. The mark 2626 is the inventory number that tells us this necklace was designed in 1947 and was made sometime in that year or a year that closely followed it. Two thick snake chains are intertwined and culminate in a center focal point clasp. A spider web motif with pavé set rhinestone centers that extend into rippling soft gold toned metal webs accented with brilliant baguette rhinestones.

Measurements

16 inches in wearable length. The necklace can be twisted a little more to make it a tighter fitting 15 inches.

Clasp is 1.5 inches in height and both sides together extend over 3 inches.
Condition

Very good vintage condition. There is a slight discoloration to some of the stones in the pavé centers. They appear far more yellow in the photos than in reality. There is slight wear to the plating on the inside of the clasp. Otherwise magnificent!

Grade: Very Good
