I cannot remember where I discovered this pretty Coro pin. It dates between 1955 - 1970. It is in mint condition and measures approximately 2 inches in diameter.
In 1901, Emanuel Cohn and Carl Rosenberger opened an accessories boutique in New York City called Cohn & Rosenberger. These two businessmen had a good eye for the arts and hired many talented jewelry designers who were given creative freedom in their designs. The company incorporated in 1943 and changed its name to "Coro, Inc.". Coro made a wide variety of jewelry styles ranging from figural to floral, and developed lines marketed at different price ranges without ever compromising quality. Coro also filed many patents over the years for various mechanisms used in their jewelry such as a double clip closure patented in 1931. Despite the well-known list of designers who worked for Coro over the years, most Coro jewelry is only marked with the company name, rather than including the original name of the artist.
Feel free to contact me if you are interested in purchasing this piece. My online shop is coming soon.
