QuickviewPink Tourmaline & Sterling Flower 1940s Hobé Brooches

The sterling petals on one side are furled; those on the other side feature a beautiful open-work design that is known as fretwork. You can wear the pair together on the shoulder of a dress or jacket, or on either side of a collar. These brooches were hand-made.
