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, Francoise, Corolite and others. The company ceased to exist in 1979, leaving behind a significant legacy.
