FEATURED: Marcel Boucher Brouch Set

"Wikipedia  states that "Marcel Boucher (1898–1965) was a French jeweller. In the early 1920s, he moved to New York City where he developed a passion for jewellery 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."
Illusion Jewels states "  Mark:   LeC      with number   -- short for "Le Couturier" rare mark for high end line of Canadian made Marcel Boucher jewelry. Photos and information courtesy Sheryl Hamilton from research of Terri DeLany."


Both the brooch and earrings has the LeC marking. :)
