INTERESTING INFO: Halbe jewelry (1930-50s/1960's) is rare and highly collectible - each piece is a piece of art, because its creator and designer was a professional artist.
Born in Poland on April 10, 1881, Rudolph Halbe studied art in Germany and became a famous landscape painter. In Germany, he married Erna, a well known ethnic dancer. In 1919 they emigrated to California. Rudolph and Erna started their family business by opening jewelry stores in Oakland and Piedmont, in the early 1930s. The business was very successful, and jewelry lovers liked the exquisite and Halbe jewelry made in the Art Deco style. Halbe jewelry was also sold in boutiques on 5th Avenue in New York and in Toronto, Canada. Meanwhile, Rudolph continued to paint and exhibit in art and Erna continued to perform ethnic dances. Painter, designer, jeweler and businessman, Rudolph Halbe died in Emeryville, California on September 4, 1967, at the age of 86. He left a great legacy in the form of paintings and jewelry, the price of which continues to rise. Here is your chance to own a piece of wearable art and jewelry history.
