Marcel Boucher, Ltd., Marcel Boucher, Cie.

1899 Paris - D. 1965

He established his company in 1937.  In other words, his company has a long, successful history in the costume jewelry field. 

He had a gorgeous showroom in Las Angeles and New York on 5th Ave.  The manufacturing plant was located in New York, as well.  However, it was a “small” company that at its height employed seventy people.

The jewelry has a reputation for high quality design and materials.  With a “real” look overall, it is not so showy as some designers, but always beautiful.

The Marboux trademark was registered in 1953 for his lower priced line.

After his death in 1965 at the age of 66, his wife (Sandra) took over as president.  After that, she continued to run the company until it sold in 1972 to a company that manufactured watches.
