Vintage CoraCraft Sterling Jelly Belly "Bill and Coo" Enameled Pin Clip-
Rare 1945 sterling Coro Craft " Bill & Coo " duette brooch / fur clip. This high quality piece in a gold washed sterling. This piece is in excellent vintage condition. It was patented by Adolf Katz in 1945. This pin is missing one of the bird clips but this pin would make the perfect gift for the owner of the other pin to complete the set. As a set this pin would be highly collectible. It is adorable as a single bird brooch as well but I was only lucky enough to find the one.
In 1903, Emanuel Cohn (“Co”) and Carl Rosenberger (“ro”) opened an accessories boutique and later expanded into jewelry. Neither man could design jewelry, so they hired Adolph Katz as Director of Design. Adolph selected designs from a large pool of designers. He is sometimes thought, mistakenly, to be a designer, but that’s because he filed many of the patents as a representative of the company.
Jelly Belly Jewelry
The Jelly Belly is, at times, misidentified. A true Jelly Belly has a clear Lucite stone set in metal. Jewelry with opaque stones and/or colors are only Jelly Belly wannabes. The most coveted pieces are large and set in vermeil (gold-washed sterling silver). The DuPont Corporation developed the crystal clear Lucite acrylic in 1931. Jelly Belly jewelry was first made in the late 1930s as part of the Corocraft brand and continued through the 1940s (maybe a few continuing into the early 1960s). Designs are wonderfully imaginative, usually of animals and flowers and often adorned with rhinestones.
-Measures 1 3/4 " x 1 1/2 "
-Sterling with gold wash and Rhinestones
-Originally sold as a set with pin clip and earring set
