May 15, 2023—Most of the big names in costume jewelry marketed designs made from sterling silver during World War II. But who did it with the most elegance and creativity? Several companies come to mind, but the one that stands out the most is Hobé Cie Ltd. Rather than blending in with the era’s other cast-sterling designs, Hobé pieces have a unique look setting them apart from the rest. Patented Hobé Sterling Designs In 1924, the building which soon would become the new schoolhouse in Hobe Sound was constructed. The Martin County Board of Public Instruction secured the use of the new school building from the Picture City Corporation in 1925, and in October of that year, the Olympia School opened. The school was designated the "Picture City School" of Martin County. It remained in use as a school until 1962.

Some Hobé jewelry from the 1950s and ‘60s can also be quite collectible. This includes sets modeled after Austro Hungarian designs as well as individual bracelets. Also watch for individual examples and sets containing sapphirine stones (usually, erroneously, called saphiret).As of the 2020 U.S. census, there were 13,163 people, 6,079 households, and 3,397 families residing in the CDP. Brevard County, 1844-1866. Note: The present-day Brevard County was known as St. Lucie County from 1844-1855, but it was not the same county as today's St. Lucie County.

In addition to stones, some Hobé antique-inspired designs have small portraits or carved cameos that make them look like someone could have worn them a century earlier than their 1940s production date. Then you have the highly collectible pieces of Hobé containing plastic figures with an Asian flair. Desirable Designs by Sylvia Hobé Fournier, Ron (March 14, 1997).

William Hobé, who was also a goldsmith and had worked as a costume designer in Germany before coming to America, was commissioned to provide costumes and jewelry for Flo Ziegfield on Broadway in the 1920s. While others have been credited for coining the phrase, Ziegfield may have very well been the first to use the term “costume jewelry” according to Hobé family lore. This opened the door to other theater and film work and as the popularity of Hobé’s jewelry grew. Many stars were fans of these baubles including Carole Lombard, and Ava Gardner also appeared on the cover of Photoplay in 1948 wearing Hobé creations. Marilyn Monroe is known to have owned Hobé rhinestone jewelry as well. Around 1:30 a.m. on March 14, 1997, President Bill Clinton fell on the steps and twisted his knee at golfer Greg Norman's 80-acre oceanside estate in Hobe Sound. Clinton was staying there to play in a golf tournament sponsored by Norman. [8] Residence of Worthington and Marion Margery Scranton, Hobe Sound (1942)

Florida East Coast Railway". Official Guide of the Railways. National Railway Publication Company. 90 (7). December 1957. The costume jewelry business in the 1940s was no doubt a male-dominated industry. However, there were many industrious women working behind the scenes to make the companies we know and love successful. Sylvia Hobé was one of those ladies.

Worthington Scranton, businessman, lawyer, and philanthropist, and member of the prominent Scranton family However, the styles marketed by actual costume jewelry companies in the 1940s don’t usually contain lesser-value gemstones unless you’re looking at Hobé. Albeit occasionally, Hobé incorporated genuine amethysts, moonstones, and other natural materials like lapis into its varied styles, so it’s worth taking a second look at the pieces in your collection. More often, however, the company used unfoiled glass stones colored to emulate semi-precious gems to embellish its sterling adornments. Hann, John H. (2003).
