Coro Jewelry

Coro (Corocraft and Vendome) Coro, Inc began operations in 1901.  The US business ended in 1979.  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.  This information was shared in Costume Jewelry 101 but Julia Carroll.
