Sterlingcraft is among the better Coro signatures for sterling vermeil brooches made during the 1940s, when base metals were called in by the US government. The style is retro modern, for sleek, geometric, or curvy ribbone sterling brooches and other sterling jewelry made during that same time period with either one rhinestone or just a few. These are usually unfoiled stones. This beauty is 2 7/8" tall x 2 1/4" wide and offers three beautiful unfoiled sapphire glass stones prong set into openback settings. The vermeil has no wear mentionable and the brooch is in Excellent condition. Signed inside the smaller ribbon curl on the left side, Sterlingcraft by Coro around the inside of an oval plate. $72
