CORO and COROCRAFT JEWELRY
Coro, Cohen & Rosenberger began early in the 1900's in Providence, Rhode Island. As CORO they are familiar to all costume jewelry lovers. CORO made jewelry from about 1920 until the 1970's and probably did it under more different names than any other maker. Vendome (1944-1979) , Corocraft (1935-1980), and Duette are just three examples. In general, the Coro mark was on the more modestly priced jewelry. Corocraft, Vendome and Francois were the higher priced lines. Adolph Katz was one of the best known of the designers, but there were many others responsible for the wonderful style of Coro jewelry.

Vendome, best known for glittering glass beads and earrings, also featured other wonderful pieces such as the cabochon and rhinestone pieces pictured below. Corocraft was often sterling vermeil, and the pieces that incorporated both rhinestones and enameling are truly spectacular. The "Day and Night" pieces shown below are true works of genius with fascinating mechanisms that allow the pieces to move.

TO ORDER

PLEASE NOTE: Regretfully, it is no longer possible to respond to individual questions regarding jewelry history, identification or value, or to offer written or verbal appraisals or opinions. The demand for this kind of information is absolutely too overwhelming for one dealer to fill.
I love jewelry, but appraising and selling are two entirely different businesses, and I choose selling as my business.
Instead, articles are added on a regular basis to JEWEL CHAT on line Magazine, a wonderful reference for information on many makers and styles of vintage jewelry.
