Later mid-century piece with the quality materials and crafting you expect from Hobe.

One of Hobé's advertising slogans was "Jewels of Legendary Splendor" and their high quality jewelry lives up to that claim. The family designed and sold jewelry in the US between the years of 1927 and 1995 and their creations were only available in upscale department stores and boutiques. One of the things I find most interesting about Hobé is the variety of styles the company made over the years -- all of them beautiful.
