Note: Henri Perichon (1910 - 1970), known as "Henry," is one of the most inventive French jewelry designers of the 20th Century. His studio was in Lyon, where he worked on mediums such as bronze, silver, white metal, or resin (Talosel). His style is difficult to define, reflecting a diverse range of influences, including Ancient, Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, and Art Deco. Many famous actresses from the 1950s and 1960s, such as Claudette Colbert, Suzanne Flon, Michele Morgan, and Edwige Feuillere, wore his jewelry on stage and in real life. See less
