Marcel Boucher designed jewelry for Mazer Bros. In the early 1930s. He established his own company, Marcel Boucher and Cie Company, in 1937. The company became a subsidiary of Dovorn Industries, a watch manufacterer, in 1972. Marcel Boucher died in 1965. Sandra Boucher, his wife, ran the company until 1972. Boucher jewelry is usually signed and carries an inventory number. Early marks are “Marboux” or “MB” in a cartouche. Later marks are “Marcel Boucher” and “Boucher”. Marcel Boucher jewelry is “high-end” and can be tough to tell from the “real thing”. Numbers on Boucher pieces are inventory/style numbers. Though the numbers are a clue to age, the style may have been designed, numbered, and yet not actually produced until much later. Additionally, some styles had more than one production run. Overall construction should also be taken into account when dating pieces. MB Sterling – 1942 to 1944. Phrygian Cap – registered in 1944 used till 1949. Boucher – 1950 to 1955. Approximate dates for Boucher Inventory Numbers. 2300 – 2350 from 1945. 2351 – 2450 from 1946. 2450 – 2550 from 1947. 2550 – 2750 from 1948. This information was written b y Antiquing On Line.
