Sell Your Vendome Jewelry

Vendome launched in 1944 as Coro’s luxury line, named after the Place Vendôme jewelry district in Paris. Unlike main-line Coro or Corocraft sterling, Vendome pieces carry their own signature — so a jewelry box that only says Vendome is easy to set aside if you are hunting for the parent company’s name. The line was built to compete with higher-end costume houses: better stones, more careful settings, and finishes that still read as dress jewelry decades later.

After aurora borealis coatings arrived in the mid-1950s, Vendome used them heavily. Layered “watermelon” rhinestones — pink-to-green glass that flashes like tourmaline — became a calling card, especially on clip earrings and floral clusters. Art-glass cabochons and richly plated gold-tone metal sit in the same quality band. That stone-first look is how we identify Vendome in person even when a hang tag is long gone.

A past-sale example from our eBay store: Vendome iridescent watermelon rhinestone clip earrings with an aurora borealis finish — the kind of small, complete pair collectors still compete for. Matching necklace-and-earring sets with the same stones bring more than the earrings alone. Production ran until Coro wound down U.S. operations in the late 1970s. We buy Vendome across that 1944–1970s window: clip earrings, brooches, necklaces, and complete parures.
