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.

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.
