Hobe' Jewelry

 The original Hobe’ family was in business in the US from 1927 to 1995. William Hobe’ immigrated to the United States from France.  His father Jacques Hobe’ was a well known designer of fine jewelry in France.  William began his career in the US by selling theater costumes. Some were sold to Ziegfield of the Ziegfield Follies in New York. Mr. Ziegfield asked William to create real looking jewelry for the show. Under the direction of the Hobe family, Hobe’ jewelry enjoyed many years as a premier manufacturer of costume jewelry.  Much of his jewelry was often hand made with high quality materials. Some Hobe’ slogans were “Jewels of Hobe’” and “Jewels of Legendary Splendor”.
