Hobé Floral Openwork Brooch Sterling Silver Handmade Berry Pin Vintage

A vintage Hobé sterling silver brooch featuring an intricate openwork floral design composed of dimensional flowers, textured leaves, and raised berry clusters. The brooch is entirely hand assembled over an elaborate free-form wire gallery, a construction method characteristic of Hobé’s early sterling silver jewelry produced during the 1940s–1950s.  The reverse bears the distinctive triangular hallmark plaque stamped STERLING. The maker’s name appears to have been lightly struck or softened through years of polishing, while the STERLING mark remains clearly legible. The hallmark style, wirework construction, and hand-fabricated floral design are consistent with authenticated early Hobé sterling brooches.  Unlike die-struck commercial jewelry, this brooch exhibits individually formed floral elements that create exceptional depth and a sculptural appearance. The openwork construction allows light to pass through the design, highlighting the craftsmanship from every angle.
