Lapis & Ivory Galalith Bead Necklace by Louis Rousselet

This vintage lapis necklace is another example of Louis Rousselet’s “puzzle” designs. The mottled-blue-glass beads and spacers are interspersed with interlocking ivory and lapis Galalith barrel-shaped beads, all strung on chain. This French Art Deco jewel closes with a barrel clasp. Several examples of necklaces with these unique beads can be seen in Ginger Moro’s European Designer Jewelry. This gorgeous piece was part of my personal collection. I guarantee you’ll love wearing it.
