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