Pastel Art Glass Earrings from France

These art glass earrings feature pale pink, green and blue beads that dangle on chains suspended from a pink glass button. The pastel-colored beads in different shapes and sizes have white striations. These 1950s ear clips are lovely and versatile, and have lots of movement. Though unsigned, I believe these beautiful and unique beads were made by Louis Rousselet. Although the ear clips are not horseshoe-shaped (the style typically used), the current company manager has said that other types were used over the years. And the design features their signature button-shaped (“Californian”) bead at the earlobe. These jewels are fun!
