Early CORO Art Deco Gold Plate & Rhinestone Hinged Bangle Bracelet

Jewelry : Collectible : Silver, Sterling : Coro, Coro Craft

 

Although unsigned, as most early Coro necklaces and bracelets were, this masterfully executed Art Deco bracelet is part of a well-known Coro parure that was signed on the earrings, and possibly the brooch or clip, only. I used to have the matching earrings for this but sold them a couple of years ago ~ that's the most frustrating aspect of this business, dreaming of all the wonderful parures I could have built if only I'd owned all the pieces at the same time. The closure to this bracelet is actually at the front, disguised by the pink rhinestone semicircle that adorns the focal stepped motif. This part of the bracelet is 1-1/8" wide while the rest of the band is approximately 7/8". It's almost impossible to measure around the inside, but it's oval in shape with interior dimensions of 2" x 2-7/16". The bracelet does show wear, so I'd rate its condition as good. But it's a rare piece you're unlikely to see again, so who cares if it shows its age? Not me!
