Antique CORO necklace and clip-on earrings gold tone flowers signed 1940-50s

Rare vintage find - Coro demi parure- necklace and clip-on earrings from my personal collection. A gorgeous set, very original floral design and high-quality craftsmanship. Signed without a copyright mark that allows to date it prior 1955. Based on the features of the necklace's design and the clasp, it most likely dated by the end of the 1940s - early 50’s. Jewelry is in very good vintage condition. They are pre-owned and pre-loved and may have some signs of time. ABOUT CORO Coro stands out as a prominent name in the 20th-century history of costume jewelry. In 1901, Emanuel Cohn and Gerald Rosenberg opened a small jewelry shop in New York, naming it "CoRo" after the first syllables of their last names. By the mid-1920s, Coro had become one of the largest jewelry manufacturers in the United States. During the Great Depression, a challenging period when many businesses closed or operated at reduced capacity, Coro defied the trend by opening a modern factory in Providence, Rhode Island. This facility employed around 2000 people, showcasing the company's resilience and commitment to growth. Coro experienced its zenith during the "Golden Age" of costume jewelry in the 1950s and 1960s. The demand for costume jewelry was so high that queues formed in major department stores at Coro displays, and the factory operated at maximum capacity. Coro released diverse lines of jewelry under various brand names such as Corocraft, Vendome, Coronation, Corolite, and others. The company ceased to exist in 1979, leaving behind a significant legacy.
