A multi -coloured paste and gilt 'Maltese Cross' brooch, Coro, USA, 1950s.
About the Item
A striking and highly decorative brooch , in the form of a Maltese Cross, designed and manufactured by Coro, in the 1950s. Composed of four large faceted and tapered topaz glass stones, each is surrounded by citrine, topaz and soft grey pastes, with a larger grey paste at the centre of the brooch, all set in a softly gilded metal. Always a classic and highly recognizable motif, this brooch creates a strong and stylish focus or highlight to any coat, jacket or other.
Cohn and Rosenberger, better known as ‘Coro’, created a vast array of costume jewellery between 1930 and 1960, being one of the most celebrated and important manufacturers in the United States. Their huge success became very apparent with the arrival of Adolphe Katz, whose ability to select designs that were highly commercial, and to foster designs of great beauty and variety, were outstanding. They went on to produce a high end ‘couture’ line called Vendome, imitating many French designs, and also later made jewellery for Oscar de la Renta.

View AllA rare enamelled metal and paste 'Two Birds ' brooch, Trifari, USA, 1930s
By Alfred Philippe for Trifari
Located in Greyabbey, County Down
A beautifully crafted and highly sort after/collectable early piece from Trifari, an enchanting 'life in miniature', with two birds on a branch, with bird box. Cold enamelled and highlighted with pastes, it would be a great asset to any collection of costume jewellery, in particular, that of Trifari pieces, a jewel of great charm and warmth.
It has the typical 'fur clip' fitting (a double pronged fitting), highly characteristic of Trifari jewels at this time.
