3 Strand Rousselet Pearl Necklace

About the Item

Elegant 3 strand glass pearl necklace by Louis Rousselet. Baroque and beautifully scaled cream graduated pearls which are handmade in the French tradition. Gilt filigree decorated clasp. Length 16" shortest strand, then 17", then 19". Excellent condition. 1950's France. Width 1.50". Louis Rousselet (1892-1980) was born in Paris and apprenticed at the tender age of eight to M. Rousseau to master the technique of lamp-work beads. "Before World War I, it was common practice to apprentice young children to a trade. Families needed as many working members as possible," reports Denise Rousselet, Louis' daughter. In 1922, in Menilmontant, Louis began manufacturing glass and Galalith beads as well as imitation pearls (glass beads coated on the outside with essence d'Orient, a fish scale compound). Very soon his firm was a major source of handmade beads worldwide, employing nearly 800 workers over the years. The firm also produced models for Chanel and other couturiers.
