Gold-tone bird brooch by Coro Pegasus

This brooch was created by Coro, one of America's leading costume jewelry manufacturers, during the 1940s Art Deco period. The company's Pegasus mark indicates it was produced after 1945 when Coro began using this signature for their higher-quality pieces. Coro bird brooches are highly sought after by vintage costume jewelry collectors for their elegant design and craftsmanship. The stylized bird motif with rhinestone accents exemplifies the Art Deco aesthetic that remained popular in post-war America, making it particularly valuable to collectors of mid-century costume jewelry and fashion accessories.
