Vintage Coro Designed, Gold Tone, Cast Metal Kidney Choker Necklace

This vintage Coro choker is made up of highly textured kidney beans. The length is under 15″ long so it sits high up on the neck. It is a midcentury piece, from 1945-1955, based on the signature which changed dozens of times in the company’s long history. It was founded in 1901 and went out of business in 1979.

The piece is gold toned plated, probably cast over base metal. It is in very good condition with no plating loss that I can see. Closure is a foldover clasp, Coro signature is on clasp bottom. 14.75″ long, Pre-owned and pre-worn. Due to length, this would be a good fit on a slim neck. Weight is 2.3 oz.

It’s a great kidney necklace and I do find many vintage pieces in my travels to antique/vintage markets. Check back again if you love vintage jewelry like I do, plus the beautiful, organic shape of kidneys. I seem to have a radar for the combination!
