Found this fun Hobe bracelet yesterday. Initially, I thought it was pre-WWII 1940s - but the more I looked at it, I felt it was maybe 1950s or very early 1960s.
No major wear except on the Hobe cartouche and a couple almost invisible dings. Although only seen in photos, there appears to be some wear of the *gold tone* but there are no metal content. The bracelet is substantial - weighs 2 ounces.
What do you think about the era, jewelry folks?
