This double birds brooch looks just like the patent drawings filed by Gene Verricchio for Coro in 1941. During the war years, Coro would design this bird as a sterling duette. But this pot metal brooch is unsigned. The pretty cockatiels each have yellow beaks, red rhinestone eyes, yellow and blue plumes and blue wings. The sit atop a green enameled branch sporting profuse  flowers and foliage in red,  yellow, orange and green. This brooch is a big one at 3 1/2" tall and 2 1/2" at the widest point.

This style of bracelet was made by Coro during the 1950s; it comes in several color and I think it would be fun to collect them all! In this silvertone link bracelet, moonglow thermoset ovals glow with both blue and gray, and, sometimes, one color or the other depending on the light. But that's the nature of moonglow. The ovals are partially encased by crescents of crystal rhinestones. The bracelet is 1/2" wide and clasps with a foldover at 7 1/4" for a medium to medium/large wrist. This jewel is in Very Good condition; the rhinestones are very bright and sparkling when you see them with the naked eye next to the contrasting moonglow, but under a 5x loupe you can see some are yellowing.
