Francois - Coro tried to give their costume jewelry a "French" touch and Francois was chosen as the name for their higher end jewelry. The line was introduced in 1933. But the line only lasted until 1944 when it was replaced by Vendome as Coro's Couturier division. Francois was one of the new designers at Coro in 1938. He later went on to found his own company, with costume jewelry designs marked Francois . This is from an estate in Colorado from a lady who recently passed away.
