History:

Coro Jewelry has been around since 1901. It was founded in New York as part of the Cohn & Rosenberger Company, which was started by Emanuel Cohn and his partner Carl Rosenberger. The brand made costume jewelry for 79 years. However, the name Coro wasn't actually adopted by the company until 1943, when the blend of Cohn & Rosenberger's names was officially made the corporate name. Cohn had died in 1910, only 10 years into the life of the company, but the Rosenberger family still gave tribute to his contributions to the brand.

Carl Rosenberger continued to manage the company until his death in 1957, when the brand was taken over by Gerald Rosenberger. Due to World War II and hardships by the end of the 1950s Coro's well was running dry. In 1957, the Rosenberger family sold the company to Richton, International of New York. .Carl's son managed the company until his death 10 years later. However, Richton was unable to keep the line of costume jewelry profitable and in 1979 Coro went bankrupt and closed its doors for good.
