This a gorgeous brooch, and an example of the fine high quality work of jewelry designer Marcel Boucher. The head, neck, and cascading tail feathers have glistening, pave set faux diamond rhinestones on a field of silver. The silver is an elegant contrast to the warm gold finish of the main body of the birds and feathers. The feathers are very detailed and embellished with sparkling and clear to slightly yellow faceted rhinestone diamonds. The bird is clutching a flowering branch which is embellished with teal blue and emerald green rhinestones. The birds eye is a ruby colored rhinestone.

Signed Boucher on the back of the longest tail feather, the piece dates to the mid 1950s. The brooch is 4 1 / 4 inches (11cm) x 2 3 / 8 inches (6 cm) with a fully working fold over clasp. Overall, this Boucher bird of paradise brooch by is in wonderful condition for its vintage age. It will make an amazing addition to any collection.

A little about the designer: Marcel Boucher (pronounced BOO SHAY) came to the United States from Paris to work with Cartier making fine jewelry in around 1920. He left Cartier to work with the Mazer Brothers and then in 1937 opened his own business.

Boucher jewelry like this brooch listing often have a layered 3-D construction with intricate patterns and designs. It was made with quality stones and materials which have maintained their integrity making Boucher extremely collectible. The majority of my items are vintage therefore some may show signs of wear. Anything noticeable I will always do my best to mention.
