HOBE JEWELRY
1927 to 1992 in America

The name HOBE is synonymous with quality, especially in their earlier pieces. Originating in the 1920's, their 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 ivory elephant brooch below, they take creativity to a new high.
