Today's Friday Finds is all about Coro, specifically their necklaces. Looking through different VJSE shops, I began to think about how lovely Coro pieces are. We have a leaf necklace that I find really charming, and it's a fun little pastime of mine to shop through different but similar styles. Coro loved leaves.
BCTreasureTrove has a particularly interesting Coro necklace (this item is now sold). I just love how the leaves come in threes and wrap their own meander pattern style around the neck. Yet, when you look at the matching earrings, you don't even feel as though anything is missing. They stand on their own entirely!
You can see that while the theme remains the same, the pattern is quite different with our Coro necklace:
Each of the leaves in this pattern also has three elements. The leaves are the main element, but then there are also berries flanking the sides of the leaf.
Just when you think you are learning some central themes, you realize how wrong you are. After all, Coro was around from 1900 to 1979! Naturally they moved within different themes, styles, and on to new ones over the course of nearly 80 years. Here's a leaf necklace by Coro that isn't in keeping with other themes I've noted. Being a novice can be fun because almost everything is new and exciting!
The above is a necklace and earring set by Coro currently listed Whiggytreasures! Don't you just love the interlocking chain running through the center of the leaves?
While these necklaces are indicative of Coro nature themes, they also do exquisite pieces with little or no nature references such as this gold-toned necklace and bracelet set at Vintage Day's Etsy shop.
And that's today's Friday Finds. I hope you love the pieces as much as I do. And the photos are lovely to boot! Would love to hear about your favorite Coro pieces!
