Boucher earrings, 1950s
Many collectors consider Marcel Boucher one of the giants of costume jewelry. He is best known for his experiments with three-dimensional design and brilliantly colored stones. While all Boucher jewelry is collectible and should continue to rise in price, rare designs like this one should do even better.
With the rare sculptural design that wraps around the ear to stay in place, these beautiful earrings demonstrate the fertile imagination of a master jewelry artist. The gold plated earrings are set with green glass cabuchons and sparkling sapphire blue rhinestones.
One earring is hallmarked with "MB" below a Phrygian cap; the other has the style number "3479." The MB hallmark, appearing mostly from 1937-1949, was later used in limited spaces, e.g., on a small earring. The inventory numbers 3000-3500 were used in the 1950s.
The condition is excellent. The earrings have their original hang tag and have never been worn.
Each earring is 2 1/2" by 1 1/4". The large stars have a 1" diameter.
