This lovely collection of vintage Hobé jewelry emphasizes the brooches, earrings and bracelets the company produced in the 1940s. These unique designs feature elaborate, hand-crafted leaves and flowers, bows, baskets and hearts. The jewelry from this period was all made in sterling silver. Some pieces were embellished with gold-plating and/or colored stones. In the 1950s, the company’s designs followed the trend for more glamour. Their standards for original designs, high-quality materials and excellent construction continued. Sold in up-scale department stores and boutiques, Hobé jewelry was marketed under the slogan “Jewels of Legendary Splendor”. Stars of the stage and screen wore these creations.
