Hi,
Welcome to the forum.
Coro jewelers were Emanuel Cohn and Gerard Rosenberg.The name Coro incorporates the first two letters of each partner's name.
They operated in New York 1901- 1979. Coro Inc. Canada is still working.
Your brooch was made in forties.
Regards

Hi thank you very much for your answer about the origin of the brooch ( indeed it's very old !) .I wonder what it it's material ?

Hi it's strange it's not written the word : silver nor the number 925 and I took it to a jewelry and they said to me il's not silver when they saw it.
