We hope for your understanding. 💚 We endeavor to present items clearly through photographs, and we kindly ask you to inspect the images and descriptions closely. 💚 Vintage jewelry inherently carries the marks of time; each piece has been cherished and will show signs of use. 💚 We do not alter the style of our jewelry, such as converting clip-on earrings to posts. 💚 For those new to "Vintage Jewelry," we encourage careful consideration before purchasing. 💚 If an item arrives damaged and unwearable, a refund can be issued. However, returns or refunds will not be accepted for reasons such as the item not meeting expectations, size discrepancies, color differences, or damage not incurred during shipping. _______________________________________________ **About the Brand:** Emanuel Cohn and Carl Rosenberger, American jewelers, initially established "Coro" in New York in the 19th century. However, their first branded jewelry was not "CORO" but "CR," derived from the first two letters of each partner's last name. Sadly, Emanuel Cohn passed away in 1910, but the company 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 its higher-end "Coro Craft" line. Notably, Coro had several subsidiary companies. Francois, established for marketing purposes to promote better, more expensive jewelry collections, produced pieces between 1944 and 1960. Another "daughter" company, Vendome, produced fine jewelry from 1944 to 1979. Following World War II, trademarks included "Corocraft," "Coro Pegasus," and "Coro Originals." Ultimately, "Coro" ceased jewelry production in 1979. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51079525687_dfb3d5d37c_o.jpg
