Fashion Jewelry Hall of Fame Inducts Famous Jewelry Designers Marcel and Sandra Boucher

The Fashion Jewelry Hall of Fame was created to honor those designers who pioneered the costume jewelry industry.

Attleboro, MA (PRWEB) March 26, 2006 -- Guyot Brothers Company, Inc., a century-old manufacturer of decorative brass stampings used in making costume jewelry and in the related arts trades, created the Fashion Jewelry Hall of Fame to honor those designers and manufacturers who helped shape the industry through their ingenuity, creative spirit, and dedication to excellence.

The most recent inductees, Marcel and Sandra Boucher, pioneers in fine and costume jewelry design, had long and varied careers, both as a team and individually. Their story is well worth telling and reading. Their intriguing history, including designing at Cartier before making the move to costume jewelry design and manufacture, Marcel Boucher became well known for his mechanical brooches, which had moving parts, and his naturalistic flowing designs, which were very different from many years of jewelry fashion dominated with Art Deco style. Sandra Boucher, a talented and detail-oriented designer, enjoyed her start in jewelry working for Harry Winston, and even had an opportunity to see the Hope Diamond during the time that Harry Winston owned it. This article includes a detailed photo gallery of their colorful jewelry designs. The photographs clearly show both the vibrant colors and the fluid lines of these brooches. Sandra is still active in the jewelry design field.

"These are excellent examples of what a creative mind coupled with meticulous attention to detail can produce. They will be enjoyed not only by the vintage jewelry collector but by students and casual admirers as well", stated Stephen Guyot, President of Guyot Brothers. The article can be found at
