Coro Bird And Heart Crest Pendant Necklace

An antique necklace with a shining coat-of-arms pendant with deep purple heart-shaped rhinestones. This item was registered as a design in 1950 by Adolph Katz, the fashion director who created the golden age of Coro, an American vintage costume jewelry brand.

Two birds facing each other on a heart surrounded by flowers, it looks like a three-dimensional sculpture, with sparkles on the wings, two small rhinestones, and three on the clasp. Shrewd and stylish with small rhinestones!

It’s no wonder that Katz’s many masterpieces of costume jewelry continue to be loved and sought after by collectors even after 50 or 60 years.

Even if you are not a Katz fan, you will be attracted to this item, which has a high-quality personality that is not found in modern accessories.

[Costume jewelry popular brand story]
Coro

The brand name comes from the two founders, “Co” for Emanuel Cohen and “Ro” for Gerald Rorenberg. Founded in 1901, the company name was changed to Coro Inc. in 1943. Production in America continued until 1979 and in Canada until 1998.

Designer and director Adolf Katz, who joined the company in 1924, quickly led the company to rapid growth as America’s largest costume jewelry company. Along with TRIFARI, it is a manufacturer that produces a wide range of products from affordable to luxury lines in terms of quality and design, and is also a brand that is easy to collect.

Corocraft, launched in 1937, and Vendome, launched in 1944, are the company’s luxury brand lines.
