Marcel Boucher Gold-Tone Starburst Brooch
A striking three-dimensional starburst brooch by the celebrated American designer Marcel Boucher, dating to 1961. Layered gold-tone rays burst outward from the centre, pairing a softly textured Florentine finish with high-polish accents for a lively play of light.

🌟 Design & Inspiration
Marcel Boucher, a former Cartier designer, was known for sculptural, jewel-quality costume pieces. This 1961 starburst captures the era's fascination with the Space Age and celestial motifs — bold, radiant and wonderfully three-dimensional. It makes an eye-catching finish on a coat, blazer or knit and is equally at home as a collector's piece.
