This rare Louis Rousselet necklace from mid-century Paris features striking graduated uranium-swirled glass beads in a deep, smoky amber-carnelian tone that glows a vivid electric neon green under UV light. The beads’ rich, warm, reddish-brown hue transforms dramatically under UV light, perfectly contrasting with two exquisite hand-carved cognac Baltic amber pyramid figures that fluoresce a softer, natural blue-green. Finished with ornate brass filigree spacers and a classic French barrel clasp, this one-of-a-kind piece showcases Rousselet’s signature artistry in blending materials. A true collector’s treasure that reveals its hidden magic under black light — bold, sophisticated, and utterly unforgettable.

Measuring a versatile 17½ inches in length, this piece features an impressive array of poured glass beads ranging dramatically in size from delicate 9 mm to magnificent 31.5 mm focal beads. Each large bead displays rich, swirling patterns in deep amber, fiery carnelian with dramatic black veining—capturing light with a warm, liquid-like depth characteristic of high-quality French poured glass.

The design is elevated by exquisite gold-tone filigree accents with intricate openwork.

A RARE! example of early-20th century French costume jewelry, this necklace showcases Louis Rousselet’s signature mastery of glass craftsmanship. Ideal for lovers of Art Deco, Retro, or unique statement jewelry.
