The company was founded in 1944 as a subsidiary of Coro. Vendome stood for unique style and high-quality jewelry. The name goes back to the Place de Vendome jewelry emporium in Paris, which specialized in the production of luxury jewelry for wealthy customers. Vendome used high-quality materials such as rock crystal from Austria and Czechoslovakia, sparkling faux pearls and enamel, gold or silver plated metal, clear and colored plexiglass. In 1953 the company separated from Coro and existed until 1979.
