Louis Rousselet c.1930 Art Deco Glass Hoops and Rhinestones Vintage Flapper Necklace

£595.00

This rare and important example of the work of Louis Rousselet was created in c.1930.

Condition Report:

Good - One glass hoop is missing from the necklace. This join has instead been secured with a sterling silver wire loop. This is a strong and inconspicuous repair and does not detract from the appeal and rarity of the necklace. There is also some dulling to a few of the paste stones.

A Short History...

This is an exceptionally rare example of Art Deco jewellery from the workshop of Louis Rousselet - a master glass bead and imitation pearl maker based in Paris. Rousselet created 4 collections per year and couture houses such as Chanel, Dior and Schiaparelli selected models from his lines to compliment their collections. Similar necklaces to this example, with near identical design and findings, are sometimes attributed to Chanel. It's therefore possible that this Rousselet necklace was selected by the house of Chanel to be retailed alongside their looks. 

Wear it With...

This necklace is perfect for a rare costume jewellery collector and would make a stunning display piece. However, it's more than suitable for wear and looks elegant paired with a deep black roll neck knit.

The jewellery within the Gemma Redmond Vintage collection has survived to this day because it has been well cared for throughout its lifetime. It is important to continue to care for the jewellery that you buy from us to ensure its continued preservation. Here are some suggestions:

- Be sure to store your jewellery within the boxes that we provide to ensure that it is protected. This is especially important when travelling with your pieces.

- Try not to get perfume or hairspray on your items. These liquids can damage the materials that our jewellery is made from.

- Try not to drop your jewellery or catch your jewellery against hard surfaces. If this happens over time, the findings and fixings can loosen and wear.

- Try not to get your jewellery wet. Some costume jewellery manufacturers utilised water soluble glue in the making of their pieces. Getting your jewellery wet could cause rhinestones and other details to fall away over time.

- If you wish to clean your jewellery, use a soft polishing cloth or a soft brush.

1920s Art Deco Silver, Paste and Faux Pearl Vintage Tassel Necklace

£550.00

This exceptionally rare and shimmering necklace was created in the 1930s. It was most likely made in France. 

Condition Report:

Good -  There is some loss of coating to some of the faux pearls. In some places, this has resulted in a darkening to the surface of the pearls. This does not detract from the rarity and wearability of the piece, especially as the darkening makes the pearls look like grey or black pearls rather than obviously flawed.
