However, the first branded jewelry was not "CORO," but "CR," derived from the first two letters of each partner's surname. Sadly, Emanuel Cohn passed away in 1910, but the name remained Cohn & Rosenberger (CR). By the mid-1920s, the "Coro" company had become the largest jewelry producer on the continent. In 1937, the company began marking more upscale products as "Coro Craft." Notably, Coro had several subsidiary companies. Francois, in particular, was created for marketing purposes to promote a better, more expensive jewelry line, producing pieces between 1944 and 1960. Another "daughter" company, "Vendome," produced fine jewelry from 1944 to 1979. After World War II, trademarks included "Corocraft," "Coro Pegasus," and "Coro Originals." Ultimately, "Coro" ceased jewelry production in 1979.
