The Story: In 1937, the Coro company began producing jewelry signed Coro Craft and in 1944 the company started its Vendôme line (named after the city in France) until 1970. These two lines were considered higher-end Coro lines. A designer named Helen Marion created beautiful Vendôme pieces featuring crystals, which were particularly popular. For the most part, Coro / Vendome pieces that are in excellent condition and in the original box are the best investment for collectors.

Hector Aguilar was a famous silversmith during the 1940’s, but with the start of WWII, a metal shortage put him in a position to secure a lucrative deal w/the American jewelry company Coro.
