Re: antique skeleten key shaped brooch
I came across this while searching for jewelry prices. It didnt name any prices but I have looked up Coro jewerly and it ranges from under $100 to over $300 for brooches. Coro, Cohen, and Rosenberger began early in the 1900's in Providence, Rhode Island. Coro made costume jewelry from about 1920 till 1970's. Coro also made jewelry under many other names: Vendome (1944-1979), Corocraft (1935-1980), and Duette, just to name a few. The Coro mark was on the more modestly priced jewelry and Corocraft, Vendome, and Francois were the higher priced lines. Adolph Katz was one of the best known of the designers, but there were many others responsible for the wonderul style of Coro Jewelry.
