About the Item

A Vintage Louis Rousselet Pearl Drop Necklace from the 1940s. Wonderfully elegant, the long string of pearls culminating in a large, embellished pearl drop. Showcasing some of the best craftsmanship of Louis Rousselet that will remain eternally stylish and so very covetable. Louis Rousselet (1892-1980) was born in Paris. At the age of eight he apprenticed under M. Rousseau where he mastered the technique of lamp-work beads. 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) and which you can see in this necklace. Vintage Condition: Very good without damage or noteworthy wear. Materials: Glass simulated pearl, base metal Fastening: Over head, no fastening.
