History of Marvella:
1911-1982
Marvella is the trademark initially used by Weinrich Bros. Co.
Which was founded about 1911 in Philadelphia. It appears that
the Weinrich Brothers were jobbers specializing in imitation
jewelry & simulated pearls. Marvella pearls Inc. was the name
adopted about 1950 & then the name was changed again to
Marvella Inc. around 1965. The Post WWII Marvella Jewelry
consists primarily of simulated pearls and plain & faceted
beads jewelry. The necklaces were made of multi-strands of
brilliant faceted crystal beads, sometimes complimented by
rhinestone roundels uses as spacers. The beads are
iridescent Aurora Borealis of the highest quality, changing to
different colors under light. Marvella advertisements of the
1950's emphasized this aspect of their faceted beads by
actually listing the changing colors, from red hot to cool pink
with under currents of blues. Marvella was purchased in 1982
by Trifari company.

History of Coro Costume Jewelry:
Coro jewelry, Cohn & Rosenberger, was founded in New York by
Emanuel Cohn & Carl Rosenberger in 1901/1902 & incorporated in
1913. A factory was established in Providence, RI in 1911. With
offices or plants in New York & Providence; at times they had a
presence in Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami,
Toronto, England and Mexico. Great Britain mechanical patents
have been found in the name of Corocraft from 1961 until 1969,
which documents actual production in England (courtesy Mary
Walden-Till).
Cohn died in 1910, but the name remained Cohn & Rosenberger.
The corporate name "Coro" was adopted in 1943. Rosenberger
died in 1957, & his son Gerald, who succeded him, died in 1967.
In 1969 the family sold 51% of the Coro stock to Richton, Intl.
Corp., who bought the remaining stock in 1970. Richton also
owned the Oscar de la Renta brand. By 1979 all the Coro
companies, except the Canadian company, were bankrupt. It was
sold to a South American company in 1992 & also went backrupt.
Gene Verri was the head designer and personally responsible for
many, many of Coro's famous designs.
Adolph Katz signed many of the patents only as a representative
of the company. Information confirmed by Ron Verri , Gene's son
-- 9/8/05.
Designers for Coro according to Brunialti:
Gene Verrecchia [Verri] --1933 to the end of the 1963 (he and his
son Ron own Gem-Craft)
Charles E. Pauzat--1939-1940's
Oscar Placco--1938-1945?
Robert Geissman--1938
Sidney Pearl--1941
Carol McDonald--1940
Lester Gaba--1941
Marion Weeber --1940-1941
Victor di Mezza--1950
