1960s Hobé Purple & Aurora Borealis Rhinestone Earrings

[svgallery name="Hobe Purp Ears"]

Circa 1950s vintage clip on earrings by Hobé. A prong set ribbon of small chanton cut aurora borealis stones is framed with similar, larger stones. One marquise cut amethyst colored rhinestone accent. Set in gold toned metal. Clip back has plastic comfort roller often found on Hobe earrings of this period.

Measurements

Earrings are nearly 1 1/2″ in length and 1 1/8″ at their widest.

Condition

Where the roller meets the back of the earring, there is a worn spot in the metal plating. It’s visible in the photo. On the front of that same earring, in the a/b ribbon is an extra chunk of metal. It appears to be a manufacturing flaw. You will find it after the third small rhinestone from the top of the ribbon. Truly the thing to turn your demi parure into a full parure or suite!

Grade: Very Good
