Louis Rousselet (1892-1980) - Born in Paris and apprenticed at the young age of eight to M. Rousseau to master the technique of lamp-work beads.
In 1922, in Menilmontant, Louis began manufacturing glass and Galalith beads as well as imitation pearls (glass beads coated on the outside with essence d’Orient, a fish scale compound). Very soon his firm was a major source of handmade beads worldwide, employing nearly 800 workers over the years.
