Florida East Coast Railway". Official Guide of the Railways. National Railway Publication Company. 86 (7). December 1953. Moving into the 1950s and beyond, the styles of Hobé jewelry changed to appeal to a broader range of modern consumers. The business no longer marketed a distinct look of jewelry but rather branched out to include styles made to complement fashions of the day using a wide variety of materials including beaded designs. A number of different manufacturers produced jewelry with Hobé branding during this era in the company’s history including DeLizza & Elster, makers of “Juliana” jewelry.

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. Hobe jewelry is almost always hallmarked, so identifying it at flea markets and antique shops can be easy. Prices in the secondary marketplace range from moderate to high. HOBE SILVER Hann, John H. (2003). Indians of Central and South Florida 1513-1763.

The younger Hobe was commissioned by Flo Ziegfeld to design and manufacture jewelry for his Ziegfeld Follies costumes. Folklore has it that this connection was the origin of the phrase COSTUME JEWELRY. Marion Margery Scranton, women's suffrage activist, leading member of the Republican Party in the United States, and a 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. 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).

In advertising, Hobé designs were referenced as “Jewels of Legendary Splendor” in the 1930s and ‘40s and with good reason. While most of the stones used were made of unfoiled glass simulating gemstones, some pieces incorporated genuine semi-precious stones. The settings crafted of plated base metals or sterling silver, were created using intricate wirework filigree and braided chain work imparting fine jewelry appeal. The sterling jewelry prototypes were created by William Hobé and then the lines were crafted by Ralph DeMassa in Providence, Rhode Island with the Hobé mark. US Board on Geographic Names".

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. US Gazetteer files: 2010, 2000, and 1990". United States Census Bureau.

By the time William Hobé started designing and hand-making prototypes using sterling silver, the business bearing his family name had steadily grown during the 1920s and 1930s. By 1938, he had obtained patents for several of his silver designs, which set the stage for success during the upcoming decade. The bulk of the sterling pieces that collectors seek today were patented and produced throughout the 1940s. In fact, more than 150 different Hobé sterling patents are shown on JewelryPatents.com, a great resource for researching costume pieces.

Another significant historical association possessed by Hobe Sound is the brief stay there of former Defense Secretary James Forrestal in 1949 between his resignation from that post and his death. Many jewelry fans don’t realize that the New York-based Hobé Cie Ltd. designed, patented, and marketed jewelry. However, for the adornments’ actual production based on William Hobé’s prototypes, other jewelry manufacturing businesses made them. These makers include factories in Providence, Rhode Island, where companies produced many of the best 1940s costume jewelry items.
