From the front it looks like Boucher. The back looks pretty crude for Boucher but maybe its just the pictures. The signature & the #'s look ok, without seeing it in person its hard to tell. Was the auction an estate auction, online or a local auction house? Was other jewelry offered? Did they auction it as an authentic piece? All questions that could help us in our reply's. Sorry to give you questions rather then an answer.
Sorry I didn't give enough info! It was a local auction in Ontario. No other jewelry to speak about. I think if they had known it was a Boucher it would have been a little pricier. I really didn't know either,I just thought it was pretty! I have a very good camera but just could not get a good pic of the back. I also went looking in Google for Boucher and could not find a catalog of all his pieces,sure would like to know if it's worth anything so I can insure it.
It has worth as a wearable piece of jewelry. I don't think you need to ensure it, if it came up for sale on eBay I think it would bring around $40-$60 dollars. Boucher figural & rhinestone jewelry bring in the big bucks. Still a great bracelet & at a great price, enjoy it.
Thank you so much for your time and comments vintagemad! Much appreciated.
