Vintage 1954 Marcel Boucher Blue Purple Cabochon Glass Set
Marcel Boucher Set
This exceptional vintage Marcel Boucher jewelry set, dating to 1954, beautifully captures the refined aesthetic and technical mastery of one of the most respected designers in twentieth-century costume jewelry. The set includes a bracelet and matching earrings, each adorned with luminous cabochon glass stones in striking shades of blue and purple.
Marcel Boucher, trained in Paris and formerly associated with prestigious houses such as Cartier, brought a fine-jewelry sensibility to his creations. His work is celebrated for its meticulous construction, balanced compositions, and innovative use of materials. Pieces from the 1950s often display a sophisticated interplay of color and form, as seen in this harmonious combination of vibrant cabochon stones.
The smooth, domed cabochon glass creates a rich visual depth, allowing the blue and purple hues to stand out with elegance and intensity. The stones are carefully set within a refined metal framework that enhances their color while maintaining a structured and polished appearance. Bracelet length 7”, earrings length 1”.
The bracelet and earrings are designed to complement one another perfectly, offering a cohesive look that can be worn together for a bold statement or separately for more understated elegance. Sets from this period are particularly desirable among collectors for their completeness and the insight they provide into mid-century design aesthetics.

How do I know a piece is authentic, and can I trust DSF?
Buying fine jewelry online takes trust, especially at this level. DSF Antique Jewelry is a New York–based dealer with over 50 years of fine jewelry expertise. Every piece is examined for authenticity and condition before it is listed — we assess hallmarks, maker's marks, metal content, gemstones, and construction consistent with the stated period or designer. For signed pieces such as Cartier, Buccellati, or Van Cleef & Arpels, we verify maker's marks and signatures. We're glad to send additional photographs of any hallmark, or speak with you directly, before you decide.
Why does antique gold look different, and is surface wear normal?
Antique pieces were often made in gold standards less common today, such as 15ct (used in Britain only between 1854 and 1932), 9ct, or higher-karat continental gold, which give a warmer tone than typical modern 14k. Light surface wear, softened edges, and a gentle patina are normal and expected on antique jewelry — they reflect the age and authenticity of the piece, not flaws. We describe the true condition of every item honestly in its listing.
What do the hallmarks and maker's marks mean?
Hallmarks are small stamped marks that identify the metal standard, and often the maker, assay office, and date. They are one of the best tools for authenticating antique jewelry. We identify and explain the marks we find on each piece in its description, and we're happy to send close-up photographs of any hallmark on request so you can see exactly what you're buying.
Can pieces be resized or adjusted?
It depends on the piece. Many antique rings can be resized, but bands with all-around engraving, thin shanks, or gemstones near the base may be limited in how far they can safely go, and some pieces are best left as-is to preserve their integrity. We list each item's measurements as they currently are. If you're unsure whether something can be safely adjusted, contact us before buying and we'll give you an honest assessment for that specific piece.
How should I care for and store fine jewelry?
Clean gently with a soft cloth, avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, and chlorine, and store pieces separately so they don't scratch one another. Remove rings and bracelets for heavy manual tasks. Antique gold is softer than modern alloys, so period pieces are best enjoyed with normal care. Treated well, fine antique jewelry lasts for generations — many of our pieces are already a century or more old and still beautiful.
