🌟 Design & Background

Coro was one of the largest and most influential American jewellery houses and was known for its innovative designs and excellent finish. Nature motifs such as leaves were especially popular in the 1950s and symbolised elegance, growth and refinement. The combination of warm crystal tones and gold-tone metal gives this necklace a luxurious yet wearable look.
