The name Coro comes from the abbreviation of the last name of the famous brand's founders, Emanuel Cohn and Carl Rosenberger. The company was founded in New York in 1901. The Coro company was one of the most prolific in the 20th century in terms of jewelry production.
Emanuel Cohn and Carl Rosenberger's goal at the beginning of the 20th century was to open a simple accessories shop, and they initially sourced from independent jewelry designers. The company definitively adopted the name Coro in 1943. Before that, the company was called Cohn & Rosenberger but it had several names such as Corocraft, Cellini, François, Vendôme, and Coro Duettes.
The company expanded during the Great Depression by offering affordable but stylish and carefully designed products. This enthusiasm led to the construction of a new manufacturing plant in Providence. Coro had the particularity of producing affordable costume jewelry (but of impeccable design) and a high-end range that would be sold notably in Dimestores and Woolworths.
Coro claims the invention of the clip-on earring system named Duette, and like the term Kleenex, it became a word used to refer to this clip. The Coro style is characterized by the use of colored rhinestones and motifs featuring flowers, horses, birds, bees, and enamels. Great names worked for Coro such as Gene Verecchio, Robert Geissman, Raimond de Massa, Oscar Placco, etc.
Coro jewelry is timeless and highly sought after by vintage jewelry collectors for its delicacy and beauty.
