The Story: From 1933, Coro planned to sell jewelry across Europe from Sussex, but firstly had to fight a famous court case with Ciro Pearls. Ciro (a UK company) did not want the US company to use the name ‘Coro’ as it was too similar, but eventually, after many years Coro agreed to use only the name ‘Corocraft’ & ‘Jewelcraft’ in the UK. So in 1948 production of Corocraft finally got started.

Corocraft was Coro’s high-end range. Many pieces were in sterling silver with a gold plate, particularly during WW2 and in the 1950’s, when other metals were in short supply.
