Mid Century Jewelry - Vendome Sputnik Period Clip-on Earrings

These clip-on earrings from the Mid Century era showcase the iconic "Sputnik" style, with a Vendome signature and shimmering Aurora Borealis crystals that change colors in different light angles. Vendome was a prestigious brand under the Coro Jewelers name, which forbade retailers from carrying both Vendome and Coro products.

Founded in 1901, Coro became the world's largest manufacturer of costume jewelry despite the fact that its founders were not jewelry designers. The name Coro is a combination of the first two letters of each partner's last name. These earrings have a chrome plated base metal and are adorned with Austrian crystals. They are in excellent vintage condition.
