Marcel Boucher Brooch Dangling Pearl Fruit Cluster Palm Frond 1950s

This three-dimensional design (a signature Boucher element) depicts a dangling pearl fruit cluster peaking out beneath a huge gold palm frond. It is signed and in excellent vintage condition.Signed: BoucherNumbered: 86071From Wikipedia:Marcel Boucher (1898–1965) was a French jeweler. In the early 1920s, he moved to New York City, where he developed a passion for jewelry design, studying under Pierre Cartier as an apprentice.[1] By the 1930s, he was working for Mazer Brothers. However, in 1937 he decided to establish his own company, which he called Marcel Boucher and Cie.Jewelry by Boucher is almost always signed (meaning a marking signifying authenticity was put on the piece) and has an inventory number on it somewhere.[2] Some of the earliest marks say 'Marboux' or 'MB.'[2]Boucher used white metal in his pieces, but the entry of the US in World War II meant that metal was scarce.[3] At that point, Boucher began using silver in his work, even moving to Mexico for a brief stint to utilize the silver there.[3]His pins were often made to look 3D, sometimes with several layers. In 1965, Boucher died, and his wife Sandra (who had worked for Harry Winston) took over her husband's company. The company was made a subsidiary sometime between 1970-1972 of Davorn Industries.
