Here is another parure that belonged to my grandmother, I inherited several years ago. I do remember her wearing these pieces. It is a very pretty parure, and one of my favorites.
Ive never seen one like it before. Has anyone seen this set before ?
It is signed Hobe. Condition is good. It includes the bib necklace, earrings and bracelet. A very flashy set !
Would like to know approximate year it was produced, and the approximate value ?

OMG!!!! Your grandmother had a fantastic sense of style. Lucky you to be the keeper of (from what you have posted) is an amazing collection.
I have seen this Hobe set before at a show, the dealer was asking $375 I think and it was just the necklace and earrings. I think that $375 was a book value and it was about 4 years ago. As for your Parure I would guess around the same price maybe more.
I will say though, mustard yellow is not always the easiest to wear. I don't know the date but would guess 1930's by style but they may be 60's take on the 30's.
If you have any clothes or accessories that belonged to your Grandmother you should post pics for all us vintage clothing fans. Thanks for sharing.
