This 2 1-2" brooch and 1" clip earrings have an intricate floral design of deep amethyst & white rhinestones accented by light green baguettes, in a type of bridal bouquet style. All silvertone pieces marked Hobe (1927-1995), this set ca 1960s
The exquisite workmanship is evident right away. And such an interesting color combination! Thanks for sharing the pictures. I don't think I have ever held a Hobe piece (marked) but they did great work.
This is a beautiful set, Jenni! Nice to have the earrings too
So unusual to see baguettes of this color! They look beautiful with the purple stones. Such a lovely brooch and earring set!!
Beautiful set Jenni!!
Now this is high quality all the way. The baguettes are highly interesting in the green, perfectly going with the amethyst and the design is superb !~
Thanks very much for the kind love

Thank you Andrea for your super comment and observations on this Hobe set, it really was a special find for me. The company employed many designers over the years including Delizza & Elster, and I love the brand because the designs are so original esp. those with rhinestones. Glad you enjoyed this one
Thanks MrsT for the lovely praise and yes, having the matching earrings is a great thing. I love the central purple flowers on all, they remind me of pansies
Many thanks FreshAir for the wonderful compliments, you are right the light green baguettes are a rare color & do complement the purple stones, great observ
Scott thank you very, very much for your terrific compliment, this set was a fab find for me because I love its originality, the same old can get a bit boring for me
Thanks Phil for your so marvelous and uplifting words, I am just delighted you enjoyed this set - it has the safety prongs, and I know how you love purple & green together as do I. It is a really great design, the rectangular baguettes make it look like flowers with greenery trim to me
Thanks Rob & raven for the love, it is very kind of you and always warmly appreciated
The pale green baguettes really make this brooch so elegant. Cuts back the bling without removing it and makes the design so much more interesting.
Unusual but wonderful!
Thanks Karen for the super comment and love, I've really missed you! Don't you think the splayed out green baguettes make this look like a bridal bouquet, it's such an unusual design but with the various florals it all works great together. Keen eye my friend
Thank you DecoVoo for the love, glad you liked this set and truly appreciate your thoughtfulness
