[Costume jewelry famous brand story]
Coro
The brand name comes from the two founders, “Co” for Emanuel Cohen and “Ro” for Gerald Rosenberg. 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, a visionary who joined the company in 1924, played a pivotal role in leading it to rapid growth as America’s largest costume jewelry company. Along with Trifari, this manufacturer produces a wide range of products, from affordable to luxury lines in terms of quality and design, and is also an easy-to-collect brand.
Corocraft, launched in 1937, and Vendome, launched in 1944, are the company’s luxury brand lines.
A vintage brooch with three beautiful deep gold flowers tied together. Each petal is heart-shaped and has a plump three-dimensional curve, and the center of the flower is prong-set with high-quality, transparent amethyst-colored rhinestones.
This item is large and has a gorgeous corsage-like appearance.
