Vintage CORO Faux Baroque Pearl & Lilac Rhinestone Flower Bouquet Brooch in an Antiqued Gold-Tone Setting | Pre-1940 | Free Gift Box and Tag
This classic heirloom floral bouquet and ribbon brooch is a fantastic example of classic Coro brooch design.
It features faux baroque pearls in white and delicate pastel-colored lilac/pink rhinestones set in an antiqued gold-tone finish. Subtle and restrained, refined and elegant, this piece will add a stylish finishing touch to a formal outfit.
We date this to the 1930s based on its design elements and the style of the Coro signature.
The brooch is in very good vintage condition - especially given its age - and while two small rhinestones are missing from the top of the brooch (see photo #7), their absence is not glaringly obvious and doesn,t detract from the overall appeal of the piece. (This blemish is reflected in the pricing.)
