This is a very unique Marcel Boucher brooch.
It is in mint condition, the enamel is beautiful and the design is exquisite.

The MB mark is topped by a phigian cap with a tri-colored rosette.

As described in "Brunialti - American Costume Jewelry", page 54, the design was created in 1941.
It is rhodium-plated metal, with green and yellow-gold enamel and rhinestones, of a pineapple. The fruit is made of yellow-gold enamel leaves with rhinestones at the tips.

It measures 3" x 2 1/8".
Retails for $1000.
