D'Orlan Jewellery Ltd. was founded in Toronto, Canada in 1957 by Maurice Bradden, who had earlier trained under the French jeweller Marcel Boucher, founder of the Marcel Boucher & Cie Company in New York City in 1937. The craftsmanship and detail of the jewellery produced using D'Orlan's Boucher moulds are of the highest quality. In 1984 D'Orlan formed a partnership with Nina Ricci of Paris, world-renowned in fashion for its French design and luxury goods, including perfumes. Together they developed a superior plating process, highly regarded for its 22-carat triple-plated finish over a pewter base metal that ensures a consistent colour, a process also used in Nina Ricci's own jewellery. D'Orlan and Nina Ricci costume and fine jewellery are sold worldwide in Nina Ricci stores, luxury department stores and boutiques.
