His concept was to use fine jewelry techniques & non-precious materials to create jewelry for the middle class as well as for the wealthy. Brought to America in 1915 by his son William, Hobe jewelry was popular not only with everyday customers, but also with the Hollywood stars and such luminaries as Flo Ziegfield. Inspired by period jewelry of the past, Hobe jewelry had an historic flavor. The name HOBE is synonymous with quality, especially in their earlier pieces. Although they made buckles & accessories in the late 1800s, their costume jewelry from the 1930-50’s years are my personal favorites. Their wire-worked designs and fabulous stones create a unique old-world style. When they combine objects into their jewelry, such as in the elephant brooch below, they take creativity to a new high. The purse frames, done in conjunction with Josef, makers of fine purses, are works of art. Trusted Seller with over 2,000 FIVE ⭐️S⭐️T⭐️A⭐️R⭐️ Ratings!
