Vintage Hobé Jewelry:The Hobé Company ~ The business, Hobé Cié, was founded in Paris in 1887 by Jacques Hobé, a goldsmith who was known throughout Western Europe as a craftsman of fine jewelry. Jacques had three sons, and it was his son William who made the family name, Hobé, a leader in mass-produced costume jewelry. Originally, William Hobé was a representative of a German company selling theatrical costumes. When he arrived in New York, he sold some of these to the theatrical showman, Florenz Ziegfeld so he could use them in his productions, including the “Ziegfeld Follies.” It is said that Ziegfeld asked William to create inexpensive but "real" looking jewelry that would add glamour to the showgirls’ costumes. According to some scholars, Ziegfeld described the jewelry that accompanied Hobé’s wardrobe creations as "costume jewelry". This, according to the family legend, is how Hobé began producing "costume jewelry". William established Hobé Cie Ltd. in 1927, placing them right at the start of the American costume jewelry boom. Original Hobé jewelry incorporates excellent, elegant designs that use high quality stones to embellish superior sterling silver, platinum and gold plated metalwork. Hobé jewelry displays excellent workmanship, especially in reproductions of the antique jewelry that was worn in European courts, and was made to last. Hobé designs produced from the mid-1920's to the early 1950's clearly show this historical inspiration. Bezel-set semi-precious stones, such as chrysoprase, lapis, garnet, and amethyst, were combined with real pearls, enamels and carved ivory panels. Vermeil silver settings with woven meshes or filigrees of twisted wire were hand finished. The best early examples include carved cinnabar and ivory oriental pieces, the portrait miniatures of historical figures, and reproductions of sixteenth & seventeenth century precious jewels from the royal courts of Europe. By the 1940's, Hobé jewelry was billed as “Jewels of Legendary Splendor”, advertised in magazines, modeled and worn by Hollywood movie stars such as Bette Davis, Carole Lombard, Ava Gardner, and Barbara Stanwyck. Hobé also produced high quality, and high priced, jewelry for upscale stores. During the 1950’s, Hobé designed and produced jewelry for movies & their stars’ personal collections, designed to complement the actresses’ fashions. It's reputation for quality remains nearly unmatched. Consequently, the Hobé Company is considered among, if not, The finest costume jewelry manufacturer in America. The Hobé jewelry produced between 1935 & 1955 is highly collectible today. Some of the Hobé pieces that are especially prized are floral pins that feature tight clusters of vermeil petals. Earlier pieces also popular with collectors include filigree bracelets and pins, some of which feature Victorian-style portraits or Japanese netsuke-like figures as focal points. William Hobé’s sons, Robert and Donald continued the business after their father’s passing. The original, family run Hobé Company stopped producing jewelry in the early 1990's.Some Hobé craftsmen have personal marks on the jewelry Hobé produced. Serillo (1909-1920), Ralph Demassa (1924-1944), Mr. Solomon (1937-1950), Zoltan Imirshaw (1934-1935) and Lou Vice (1948-1969) each added his initials to the Hobé marking. For example, S (Serillo), or V (Lou Vice), etc. Robert’s son, James Hobé was a leading designer who made jewelry from 1970-1984.
