This thick, chunky "sautoir length" chain by Coro is a classic example of Mid-Century statement costume jewelry.
- Design Style: This chain features a heavy, double-link or "woven" rolo style, often associated with the Etruscan Revival or high-fashion statement looks of the mid-20th century.
- The Coro Brand: Founded in 1901, Coro used many hallmarks. Chains from this era are frequently signed, like this one is, with the iconic Pegasus logo and "Coro" in a thick script.
- Versatility: Being "opera length" (54 inches), these were designed to be worn as a single long strand or doubled up to create a shorter, even chunkier layered look.
- Manufacturing: Coro was known for high-quality finishing; even though this is gold-plated base metal, they were built to be "delicate yet sturdy" and often retain their luster for decades.
