Henry Perichon Serpentine Chain Necklace with Jeweled Talosel Pendant
Located in Atlanta, GA
French jewelry artist Henry Perichon (aka Henry) designed this elegant brass and Talosel resin necklace in the 1960s. The long necklace features a brown-beige Talosel resin ball pendant topped with topaz orange crystal faceted rhinestones. The necklace is finished with a gilded brass serpentine chain ornate with natural quartz beads and a hook-closing clasp. This piece is unsigned, but the beige-brown Talosel pendant and the specific ornate hook closing clasp are unmistakable artist signatures.
The long necklace is in good condition, with minor wear due to age.
Measurements: The necklace's total length is 29.13 in long (74 cm) - The drop is 16.57 in long (42 cm) - the pendant is 1.19 in diameter (3 cm) x 1.57 in high (3.9 cm).
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 1950s and the 1960s, like Claudette Colbert, Suzanne Flon, Michele Morgan...

We are fortunate to know much of the world’s long and dazzling history of necklaces, as this type of jewelry was so treasured that it was frequently buried with its owners.
Lapis lazuli beads adorned necklaces unearthed from the royal graves at the ancient Iraqi civilization of Sumer, while the excavation of King Tut’s burial chamber revealed a sense of style that led to a frenzy of Art Deco designs, with artisans of the 1920s seeking to emulate the elegant work crafted by Ancient Egypt’s goldsmiths and jewelry makers.
In ancient times, pendant necklaces worn by royalty and nobles conferred wealth and prestige. Today, wearing jewelry is about personal expression: Luxury diamond necklaces exude confidence and can symbolize the celebratory nature of a deep romantic relationship, while paper-clip chain-link necklaces designed by the likes of goldsmith Faye Kim are firmly planted in the past as well as the present. Kim works exclusively with eco-friendly gold, and these fashionable, fun accessories owe to the design of 19th-century watch fobs.
For some, necklaces are thought of as being a solely feminine piece, but this widely loved accessory has been gender-neutral for eons. In fact, just as women rarely took to wearing a single necklace during the Renaissance, men of the era layered chains and valuable pendants atop their bejeweled clothing. In modern times, the free-spirited hippie and counterculture movements of the 1960s saw costume-jewelry designers celebrating self-expression through colorful multistrand necklaces and no shortage of beads, which were worn by anyone and everyone.
Even after all of these years, the necklace remains an irrefutable staple of any complete outfit. Although new trends in jewelry are constantly emerging, the glamour and beauty of the past continue to inform modern styles and designs. In a way, the cyclical history of the necklace differs little from its familiar looped form: The celebrated French jewelry house Van Cleef & Arpels found much inspiration in King Tut, and, now, their Alhambra collection is a go-to for modern royals. Vintage necklaces designed by David Webb — whose work landed him on the cover of Vogue in 1950, two years after opening his Manhattan shop — were likely inspired by the ornamental styles of ancient Greece, Mesopotamia and Egypt.
On 1stDibs, browse top designers like Cartier, Tiffany & Co. and Bulgari, or shop by your favorite style, from eye-catching choker necklaces to understated links to pearl necklaces and more.
