Coro, Inc., began operations in 1901. The U.S. operations ended in 1979, but Coro continued to produce jewelry in Canada until approximately 1998. In 1944, Coro began the production jewelry marked "Vendome", the name of a city in France. Vendome is associated with high-end Coro designs and most was produced after 1953.

This gorgeous double-strand, choker necklace is composed of various size faceted aurora borealis crystal beads; the larger size crystals are darker shades of blue, bronze, rose, purple etc., with a combination of filigree black w/gold, bronze or gold-tone decorative end-caps and small gold-tone metal bead spacers. The smaller size crystals are in lighter shades without end-caps. The double-strands of the choker necklace measure 13" & 15" inches in length with an additional 2 1/2" extender of small gold-tone aspirin rhinestones. The hook catch is adorned with a flower and marked "Vendome". The condition is near mint with little or no visible ware to metal or settings. Classy is an understatement for its color and style
