BOUCHER 1937-1971
Marcel Boucher was one of costume
jewelry's most respected designers. He began by designing fine jewelry
for Cartier in New York City then moved into creating 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.
