Hobe, 1887 - present:

Hobe jewelry demonstrates excellent and elegant designs with high quality stones embellishing superior silver or gold plated metalwork. The workmanship is excellent especially on its reproductions of antique jewelry, such as the replicas of the jewelry of the European courts.... During the 1950's, Hobe was the jewelry of choice in Hollywood, favored by many producers and movie stars, and used to compliment the costumes of actresses in movies and fashion models in advertising promotions. Hobe advertisements claimed that their jewelry was handmade in the entirety, in platinum, gold or sterling. Without a doubt, Hobe is among the very best of costume jewelry manufacturers in America." * [ Fabulous Facets HOME ]
