Louis Rousselet Pearl and Crystal Paste Necklace C1920

About the Item

Pristine Louis Rousselet graduated pearl and crystal paste, choker necklace .Composed of Rousselet signature round and teardrop pearls. Marked ,Made In France 14" with 2" drop 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. .
