This incredibly-detailed 1950s set deserves its elegant name: Rose of Seville. Wear the brooch with real or faux diamond stud earrings.

Diamanté & Gold Snake Chain 1950s Coro Necklace
1950s Jewelry, Coro Jewelry, Vintage NecklacesThis Coro necklace features gold-plated fretwork embellished with rows of gold-ended baguettes as its centerpiece, which reminds me of a cornucopia. A pear-shaped diamanté adorns the tail of the hook-and-tail closure of the snake chain. This piece is another great example of the work Adolph Katz produced for Coro’s high-end line. What’s interesting is that this piece appears in an October 1, 1953 Vogue ad with the following copy: “excitingly beautiful as Paris by night … Vendome by Coro“. (Vendome later became another one of the company’s high-end lines.) Also of interest is the difference of the clasp on the necklace versus that shown on the design patent.USD$275.00USD$275.00

I think these beautiful earrings are European in origin. Though stamped "SILVER" on the earring backs, I don't think the settings are sterling.

Although this jewel bears Ciro's mark, the piece was made by an unknown French or German company. Like the jewelry of many high-end retailers, Ciro’s was designed, produced and stamped with their logo by various manufacturers whose work was commissioned. The trombone clasp is a clue to the country of origin. Wear this lovely piece as a brooch or as separate dress clips. This double clip brooch is the only one I’ve seen with a brooch mechanism that frames the entire piece. Ciro jewels are hard to date and were not inexpensive.USD$325.00USD$325.00
