This auction is for an extraordinary vintage Hobe statement brooch featuring a deeply domed, dimensional design, densely covered with sparkling clear rhinestones, jewel toned glass cabochons and creamy faux pearl accents.  The brooch is 2 1/2" in diameter and a little over 1" from the top to the back of the brooch.  The reverse reveals exceptionally elaborate gold tone openwork filigree, arranged in scrolling petal like sections beneath the jeweled surface.  This is an unusual and exceptional brooch in great vintage condition!  PLEASE NOTE:  Although all my jewelry listings will be marked that returns are not accepted (due to eBay's change of policy from 14 day returns to 30 days). If an item is damaged in shipment or there are any condition issues that I missed, please send me a note and a photograph.  No returns will be accepted without a photograph.   We will not accept returns because an item "does not fit" or because the buyer "changed their mind".  Be sure to check out our other listings and our eBay store items (over 3950, all on sale).  We don’t mark up our items by a great amount, so reasonable offers only please for store items. We do have a layaway plan available for items or groups of items totaling $200 or more.  I am happy to ship to third party shippers for my international clients. Great low starting bid, and being sold with NO RESERVE.
