Henry Perichon Gilded Bronze Pendant Necklace with Black and Paprika Cabochons

About the Item

Henry Perichon (aka Henry) designed this elegant Medieval revival gilded bronze pendant necklace in the 1950s. The bronze metal pendant has an antique Middle-Age design influence and is ornate with black and paprika red poured glass cabochons and complimented with topaz crystal rhinestones. The heavy gilded bronze worked chain with its specific hook closing clasp is the brand signature of Henry's jewelry. The engraved Henry's signature is on the back of the pendant. The necklace is in good condition, with some wear on the gilded bronze due to age and standard use. Measurements: The necklace's total length is 25.20 in (64 cm) - The drop is 14.19 in long (36 cm) - The pendant is 1.38 in wide (3.4 cm) x 2.32 in high (5.8 cm). 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, 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.

Note: The use of Bakelite crib toys for fashion jewelry. A new form of Bakelite called Catalin was introduced in 1929, featuring a beautiful range of colors and creating an unbelievably cute aesthetic for these children's objects. Gone were the old-fashioned silver and ivory teething rattles of the Victorian age. In the early 1930s, children had brightly colored plastic crib toys which were safe and indestructible. The condition of many of them today attests to that. In the United States, one of the most popular manufacturers was Tykie Toys of Piqua, Ohio, which was in business until the late 1940s. Their designs included a range of little doll characters. Other crib toys designed included bell boys, sailors, soldiers, and black American or African-inspired characters. There was a huge fascination for anything exotic and people from far away, and the craze for jazz meant that black musicians were trendy at the time. New York designer Jan Carlin made stunning Bakelite jewelry out of old pieces in the 1970s. She has made many quirky brooches...
