Description
Red, white and blue, high-quality rhinestones, prong-set in gold metal, make these 1950's earrings by Hobé really shine! The chunky clip-on earrings curve up the ear in true 50's fashion. Each clip back is marked with "Hobé" in a rectangular box. In excellent condition, these earrings are fit for a Hollywood movie star. In fact, the company did design many pieces for use in film and theater during the 1940s and 50s, which only served to increase the popularity of their retail jewelry creations, sold only through high-end department stores and boutiques. These lovely earrings are part of a set, with what I believe was a large, matching rhinestone pin. The price of the earrings will include this other piece, which could possibly be repaired by a jeweler (either by replacing the missing pin back or by creating a new look as a pendant, or?). The matching pin is in fair to poor condition, missing its pin back, as stated, and with some verdigris on the top section in the back (see last photo).
