Couture 1930s ChanelRousseletStyle GlassGold FauxCarnelianPearl Torsade Necklace
About the Item
Beginning in the 1920s, Coco Chanel collaborated with Parisian Louis Rousselet for a wide variety of handcrafted beaded jewelry to compliment her couture-clothing designs. This Art-Deco-period rope choker necklace is consistent with the French fashion designer's commissions with tri-color glass micro-beads and those arranged in a torsade of twisted stripes, while it is also representative of Rousselet's smallest metallic glass beads, beaded loops for attaching metal fasteners, and gilt twisted-toggle clasps. The tightly silk-strung necklace is woven into single-bead stripes between red faux-carnelian and white beads suggesting pearls.
The Met acquired a Chanel/Rousselet tri-color glass beaded and gold-gilt pendant that features the same red faux carnelian micro beads along with intricate metalwork, which it also dates to the Art Deco period prior to WWII.
To observe more craftsmanship that is likely Chanel/Rousselet jewelry, see our other listings, such as the Topaz Glass & Filigree Heart Camellia Beaded Set, which includes more information about the Parisian parurier.

- Antique HandPressedGlass European GoldFiligreeCapped Beaded Heavy NecklaceLocated in Chicago, ILThis antique rare hand-pressed-glass necklace features semi-translucent grape-green large beads that are capped with gilt-brass filigree. Based on the combination of bead seams, spring-ring clasp, and metal findings on the unmarked faux Chinese-jade necklace, it dates to the late Victorian period most likely from Western Europe. Around WWI, hand presses, which stamped molten glass into a mold to create a bead with a hole and a seam, were often used to produce costume jewelry as a cottage industry in Germany and the Czech region. This was while there was a lack of factory machine presses and finishing tumblers that used sand to polish out the seam lines. Another reason that the cloudy green beads can be identified as atypically hand-pressed is that they are more opaque and therefore harder and less prone to breaking during formation than fully-translucent glass, which was better suited for automated-machine pressing. Also the green beads are an unusual swirled color including white, which suggests that their production was more limited than machine-pressing would enable. Without the bead-seams, this necklace could be mistaken for one by Coco Chanel. Her 1920s couture...Category
