Materials and Features:

• Die-Struck Brushed Satin Flower: Features a hollow-backed central flower component machine-stamped with a fine, directional brushed satin finish across the inner petal faces. The petal margins are designed with contrasting high-polish smooth borders to provide structural dimension.

• Stamped Rhinestone Wreath Framework: Constructed around an outer circular wreath ring formed from heavy-gauge commercial rhinestone cup-chain stock. Each square box-prong segment is rolled inward to house the stone array securely.

• Prong-Set Clear Chaton Rhinestones: Populated by precision-faceted clear glass chaton rhinestones, individually hand-seated within continuous four-prong settings around the frame perimeter and anchored by a larger focal chaton rhinestone at the central blossom hub.

• Curled Wire Structural Bridge: A thick, round-wire gold plated accent stem curves beneath the chassis. This component acts as the primary reverse structural support, running from the central flower hub to solder flat onto the rhinestone outer ring to lock the assembly elements together.

Type: Rollover safety catch mounted directly onto a low-profile base plate along the reverse rhinestone ring wall.

Age/Origin: Circa 1962 / Providence, Rhode Island, USA

Marks: Unmarked (Definitively attributed to Coro based on the early-1960s factory assembly blueprint combining stamped satin petals, a commercial cup-chain outer ring, and a characteristic curved wire reverse bridge).

Other: This beautifully balanced piece is a fully authenticated, un-stamped production run from the early-1960s brushed satin floral collections by Coro. While high-end boutique lines from the Providence factory featured a stamped hallmark signature, a massive percentage of daytime costume inventory intended for department store distribution on paper retail presentation cards left the foundry intentionally unsigned. Stamping a heavy metal hallmark die onto the reverse of this multi-component assembly would create localized structural deformation, warping the delicate alignment of the thin-gauge flower petals and potentially loosening the rolled prongs holding the outer rhinestones. The presence of the distinctive three-element assembly fingerprint—the combination of rolled cup-chain framing, a directional satin-brushed flower stamping, and a custom curved structural wire bridge—serves as an unalterable factory fingerprint proving its true design pedigree.

Measurements:

• Weight: 10.8g

• Dimensions: Approx. 2.0” total operational length inclusive of the curled stem by 0.875" width

Condition: Very Good Vintage Condition. The gold plating remains incredibly bright and uniform with no noticeable finish loss or base metal exposure. The clear chaton rhinestones retain excellent original sparkle and clarity with zero dark spots, and the rollover safety catch operates smoothly with strong mechanical tension.
