The Story: D’Orlan Jewellers Ltd. was founded in Toronto, Canada by Maurice Bradden in 1957. Bradden previously trained under the French jeweller, Marcel Boucher who established the Marcel Boucher & Cie Company, in New York City in 1937. After 1979, D'Orlan purchased Marcel Boucher's designs. Pieces using these molds are frequently marked "D'Orlan" along with a 4-digit inventory number. The workmanship and details on the jewelry being produced from the Boucher moulds by D’Orlan is of high quality.

In 1984, D’Orlan Jewellers Ltd., formed a partnership with the Nina Ricci enterprises of Paris, France (known throughout the world in the fashion industry for French designs and French luxury goods including perfumes).
