Hobe’ made some of the most beautiful jewelry on the planet. I fell in love with this set as soon as I laid eyes on it. The bi-cone crystals, the rondelles and faux pearls, ( which are very small, dainty) make up five strands of beauty! The ornate clasp, with the chatons and baguettes are all prong set, no glue here! And certainly nothing “plain” about this set! Both bracelet and necklace are in mint condition! Signed Hobe’ in a cartouche on the back of clasp. Circa..1960’s! I have to now hunt down the earrings. This gorgeous set also came in jet, emerald, and sapphire! I want this set in jet!
ENJOY!
Beautiful! That clasp is spectacular!
Thank you, Patricia! The earrings I’m hunting down are exactly like the clasps!
I appreciate your comment on my first pearls!
That’s spectacular, Eileen! 5 rows ... gorgeous beads. Metal is bright. Clear marking. Fingers crossed for the earrings.
Well, that certainly is a show stopper :). Wish you luck in finding the earrings!
You bet this is gorgeous! I love it in this color, but I agree 100% about the jet! Spectacular!!! I do hope you find the earrings. I will keep my eye out for you!
Leanne, thank you so much for loving my Hobe’ set. I have never purchased ( but always wanted to) a bracelet/ necklace with multiple strands, always worried if one breaks... but I just had to have this set! My photos never do justice to any of my pieces, a photographer I am not. This set is not rare, by any means, it can be found on all three forums I purchase from. A Lady gave me a ridiculous price on the necklace, so then I hunted down the bracelet, also for a great price. The earrings are gonna be hard, as whenever I see them, they are accompanied by the other parts of the parure. But I’ll “just keep looking”!
Mrs.T. I am going to need it, they will be a hard find. But that’s half the fun, No?
Thank you for always commenting on my jewelry, so appreciated!
Share.that makes 3 “SPECTACULAR’s” Ha! I suppose I did good here. Hobe’ is not cheap, it never was, even back in the day, but they used only the best plating. The plating on these pieces shines like new, not a scratch! Their beads, from Australia & Germany, make “spectacular” jewelry. Their beaded necklaces go for the big bucks, especially ones with “art glass” beads, such as metallic...so pretty!
And thank you for all the loves, dears!
So elegant.Did this set have a brooch, too? Maybe you'll bet lucky and find the earrings with the brooch. Just an exquisite jewel! Good luck finding the earrings.
Maureen! Good question, let’s hope so! I’m not going to stop until I find the earrings and if a brooch was also made? All the better, thanks because it literally did not even enter my mind, ( as I wasn’t dealing with D & E, who of course, would of made a brooch (or two) to match) !
Thank you dear friend!
Thank you Mary! Yes, everyone has been so kind. You know me, I’m a brooch & earrings gal. Kinda stepped out of my comfort zone on this set, but I fell in love with the crystals. Years ago I never left the house without a crystal necklace on, was called MissCrystal! Changed the name a little, then again I love the Doors! Ha!
Yay! So good to hear from you Ken! You have been missed. I thought of you when I picked these up, the pearls are so white and pure. You have been right all along when it comes to “pearl jewelry”.
Thanks my dear friend and welcome back!
Ms.ChrystalShip wowwwwww! They are beautiful! Fantastic to have both necklace and bracelet but I understand why you now also want the earrings. I am happy for you, can hear that you are happy about your find and rightly so.
Elisabeth, there you are! Yes, Hobe’ made some pretty intense pieces, nothing plain about their jewelry! I will hunt down the earrings, and thanks so much for your kind words, dear.
And call me Eileen!

Yourneverright, thank you so much for stopping by! I see you are a fairly new- comer here and I want to Welcome you to CW. I would love to see some of your wife’s earrings and beads! I used to have jars and jars of them myself, finally gave them to a cousin who was trying her hand at making jewelry. I’m thinking you might not come back to this post so I’m gonna go find yours and repeat myself...Ha!
