GUEST: I found this when I was cleaning my in-laws' house.
APPRAISER: It's not signed.
Guest: Uh-huh.
APPRAISER: But I know from the style of the type of metalwork, and the way the stones are set, it's by a very famous costume jewelry manufacturer named Hobe.
GUEST: Oh.
APPRAISER: This piece was made in the late '30s into the 1940s. It's of a white metal with a gold plating. Now, the reason I know this is by Hobe is there's certain elements. These little flowers.
GUEST: Uh-huh.
APPRAISER: The way the glass or crystal is set in a serrated collet set, bezel. And they're unfoiled stones. Having a necklace is extremely rare.
GUEST: Huh.
APPRAISER: I've only seen one other necklace. On a retail level, this piece would bring between $1,000 and $1,200.
GUEST: Oh, wow. Nice. Boy. (laughs)
