More information about Damascene style:

Damascene "Damasquinado de Oro or "Damasquino" is the art of decorating non-precious metals with gold. It has roots in the Middle Ages and originates from the oriental-style artisan work done in Damascus, Syria. The craft, perfected by the Arabs and brought with them to Spain, has remained virtually unchanged over the centuries.

Damascene items generally reflect two distinct traditional types of patterns; the Arabesque or geometric designs, and the Renaissance motifs, displaying variations of birds and flowers. These patterns are obtained by engraving deep, patterned cuts into steel and then placing a gold foil into the lines of the design. This foil is hammered until the gold (18/greenish and 24/yellow carat) penetrates into the cuts, forming the design. Each piece is treated with a bluing solution to obtain oxidation and a black background is created. The back of all Damascene pieces are finished with gold metal.

Toledo is the world's largest center of production of Damascene. The city of Toledo is one of the richest historically and culturally endowed cities in all of Spain. The Damascene style is also used in Japan.

The brand has had a strong presence over the past century and has won the hearts of women the world over with its sensual designs and delicate patterns.

The brand was founded in the year 1901 in the United States of America. Despite its humble origins, its burgeoning popularity ensured that its factories and distribution net spread everywhere. In a very short span of time, the brand built a national and international presence. Its most famous offices are in Los Angeles, Toronto, England and Mexico.

The brand has some specialties that set it ahead of its time. Some of the leading designers of their time designed the jewelry lines made by the brand. Oscar Placco, Massa Raimond and Gene Verecchio are just some of the numerous designers who were invited by the brand to add their magical touch to the jewellery. The period from 1930 to 1950 witnessed the best lines from the brand and most collector’s items are also sourced from this time period.

The brand’s most famous line is its CoroCraft lineage that has produced the best pieces of costume jewellery by far. Another famous line was Vendome that was launched in the mid 1950s. Hollywood Star Greta Garbo who patronized Vendome extensively made this line famous.

The brand stopped producing jewellery in the late 1980s and all pieces in the market now are considered vintage collector’s items. You can have a look at internet auction sites that catalogue most pieces of CoroCraft and other lines of Coro’s early jewellery, duettes, jelly belly figurals and Mexican sterling.
