In tribute to their Eastern European heritage, the Eisenbergs used Swarovski rhinestones in their jewelry pieces. These clear and colored stone creations are highly collectible.
Eisenberg & Sons opened their Chicago designer fashion emporium in 1880 targeting American women for their daywear products.
In the early 20th century, the designers began adorning their garments with rhinestones. When the company found their rhinestones were being stolen, they established a costume jewelry line to accompany their apparel department.

Naming their company Coro Jewelry, a contraction of their two names, Emanuel Cohn and Carl Rosenberger incorporated in 1913. The company began producing a line of jewelry named Coro Craft in the 1930's and started its crystal Vendôme line in 1944.
One of my favorite memories is looking through my grandmothers jewelry boxes. I was sure they were all genuine rubies and diamonds. Sadly, they were not.
