*Description: This is a great Corocraft pink enamel brooch from the late 1950s to early 1960s. The brooch is pink enamel trimmed in black then red on the tips. The center is a black dome with matching pink rhinestones. The back is stamped Corocraft. This brooch is in very good condition and would make a great gift. It was designed during the "flower power" years of the 1950s to 1960s. This would be a great addition to your vintage jewelry collection or make a great vintage gift!
Coro (Corocraft and Vendome) Coro, Inc began operations in 1901. Two partners, Emanuel Cohen and Gerald Rosenberg, began the Coro jewelry company in 1901. In 1943, the partners incorporated and the name of the company was changed to Coro, Inc. The name Coro comes from the combination of the first two letters of their last names. In 1929, the partners were able to build a new jewelry factory in Providence, Rhode Island where Adolph Katz oversaw the manufacturing of Coro jewelry. In 1937 Coro began using the name Coro Craft for high end jewelry. This name is found printed Corocraft, one word, on jewelry produced after World War II. In 1944 Coro began producing jewelry marked Vendome which was named after a city in France. Like Carocraft, Vendome was originally the high end jewelry of Coro. In the 1950s and 1960s Coro featured carved, molded, and ribbed stones. All are becoming highly collectible. The US business ended in 1979. This information was shared in Costume Jewelry 101 but Julia Carroll.
