Lacy Sterling & Red Rhinestone Earrings by Coro

Clusters of red rhinestones smoulder at the hearts of these gilded sterling earrings from Coro. Shallow cups of lacy openwork silver hold domes of prong-set red stone. Small white accent rhinestones sparkle like dew drops. These pretty earrings are clip-ons, they are marked "Coro Sterling P.P" on their backs. Circa 1940.

Emanuel Cohn and Carl Rosenberger established the New York accessories boutique Coro in 1901. Coro purchased a manufacturing facility in Providence, Rhode Island, in 1929, which became the world's largest costume jewelry facility. During World War II, 70% of Coro's jewelry plants converted to military production. The facilities that continued producing jewelry began using sterling silver, declaring Coro the first company to use non-priority metals to support the U.S. war effort.

Details.....The earrings measure 1.1" in diameter. In Very Good Vintage Condition. You should always expect some wear on vintage and antique pieces; we consider it part of the charm.
