Marcel Boucher Pin Identification & Value - Expert Analysis

Question
Hello,
I have a red and green enamel rose pin that is set with rhinestones that seems to be in two pieces -- the flower is attached to the stem with a small screw allowing the flower to move.  There is a mark -- MB with a phrygian cap -- that I think is Marcel Boucher. The pin is about 3" and I believe is rhodium.
Can you tell me anything more about this pin?
Thank you,
Lis

Answer
Hello Lis and thank you for your inquiry. You are right that the pin is most likely Marcel Boucher and I have listed a site below with more information on the marking:

They produced a line of floral pins and most of them had a design number as well as the traditional hallmark. The one you describe is called a "tremblant" or "trembler".  If you use your browser search for Boucher Floral Jewelry you'll pull up quite a few sites that have examples listed.

Hope this helps and enjoy your brooch !
