Materials and Features:

• Artisan Flower of the Month Architecture: A dimensional, high-relief "Chrysanthemum" design featuring multiple tiers of layered, swept petals. This specialized 1962 production is a centerpiece of Boucher’s most collectible archival series.

• Iridescent Faux Pearl Center: Features a hand-selected faux pearl with a rich champagne luster. This centerpiece provides a sophisticated depth and light-diffusing glow consistent with Boucher's high-jewelry aesthetic.

• Heavy-Gauge Gold Metallurgy: Finished in a rich gold-tone plating with a specialized brushed texture on the interior petals and high-polish accents on the tips. This multi-tonal contrast is a hallmark of Marcel Boucher’s Cartier-trained heritage.

• High-Relief Bark-Textured Reverse: The backplate and stem feature a deep-etched, organic "bark" texture. This hardware defense adds structural weight and provides an archival finish that protects the gold plating from friction wear.

• Heavyweight Studio Engineering: Boasting a substantial 16g weight, this brooch offers a luxury "heft" and structural presence that distinguishes it from lightweight mass-market mid-century pins.

Type: Brooch features a professional-grade standard roll-over safety catch and reinforced pin bar
