Though no longer in business, Coro is recognized to this day as one of the world leaders in the design and manufacturing of costume jewelry. First founded as an accessories boutique in New York City, Coro expanded to include its own manufacturing facilities in 1929. Overseas expansion became a priority in the 1930s both in Europe--where it took on the brand name Corocraft--and Canada. The Coro brand enjoyed immense popularity in the years following World War II. With a focus on patriotic jewelry, the Coro designers developed the Emblem of America brooch that is now quite rare and therefore a hot ticket for collectors. Many Coro pieces highlight floral designs, though the brand is also famous for their jelly belly jewelry with Lucite and multi-colored glass cabachons. If you are following the trends, you know that vintage jewelry is one of the hottest accessories in the world of fashion. One of the great things about vintage jewelry is that it encompasses so many different looks. Collectors of vintage costume jewelry enjoy the unique flair that a Coro necklace adds to an outfit. Adding a few pieces of Coro vintage jewelry to your collection ensures that you will not show up at a party wearing the exact same bracelet as someone else. The look of Coro costume jewelry provides unlimited opportunities for accessorizing. You can pair a Coro braclelet with a pair of Coro earrings or Coro bracelet for a pulled together look. Or you can mix a piece of Coro vintage jewelry with your modern jewelry collection for a punch of unique flair.
