An incredibly rare, pristine specimen of an authentic 1940s mid-century Coro "Cloverleaf" 4-Way Expandable Photo Locket Pendant.
This stunning piece of American costume jewelry history features a mechanical folding multi-panel layout that hinges outwards to reveal spaces for four individual miniature family photographs.
Remarkably, this item still housing its original vintage paper instruction insert detailing how to press a coin to secure the photo frames into the shell.
Key Design Details:
  • Brand/Markings: Stamped on the inner folding panel with the official "Coro" script logo inside a rectangular frame, alongside "PAT. PEND." (Patent Pending).
  • Front Medallion: Features a central circular white guilloché enamel disc hand-painted with a beautiful pink rose and green foliage motif.
  • Embellishments: Surrounded by an open-work gold-tone filigree scroll frame accented with six chaton-cut pink rhinestones, clear crystal paste stones, and delicate faux seed pearls - some are missing
  • Reverse Case: Features a beautifully struck, crisp engine-turned concentric wave design.
  • Condition: Outstanding vintage condition. The mechanical hinges and panel latches open smoothly and close securely. The gold-tone plating shows magnificent lustrous shine with zero notable pitting, and all rhinestones/pearls are original
From a clean, smoke-free, and pet-free home. 
Will be packaged with extreme care in heavy layers of bubble wrap inside a sturdy mailing carton to ensure it arrives perfectly.
