Henri Perichon (1910 – 1970), known as “Henry,” is one of the most inventive French jewelry designers of the 20th Century. His studio was located in Lyon, working on a medium such as bronze, silver, white metal, or resin (Talosel). His style is hard to define, reflecting many influences, including Ancient, Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, and Art Deco. Many famous actresses from the 1950s and 1960s like Claudette Colbert, Suzanne Flon, Michele Morgan, and Edwige Feuillére wore his jewelry on stage and in real life.
