The history of Trabert Hoeffer & Mauboussin jewelry began in 1936 and lasted until 1953. The name of the brand itself speaks of the collaboration between the American company Trabert & Hoeffer and the Parisian house Mauboussin.
Founded in 1926 by Randolph Trabert and William Howard Hoffer, the company was named after the founders – Trabert & Hoeffer, Inc. Based in New York, the jewelry company went through the hard times of the Great Depression and World War II with great success. At a time when many New York jewelry firms went out of business, Trabert & Hoeffer, Inc. flourished and expanded.
After the death of Randolph Trabert in 1930, Hoeffer began working with the Parisian jeweler Pierre Mauboussin, understanding the influence of French fashion in the world. For Pierre Mauboussin, this was also a good decision, as he gained access to the American market. The American-French collaboration led to the creation of the successful T & H-M company, which operated for 17 years.
The most famous innovative collection of this company is Reflection, with its interchangeable jewelry. The company met its customers halfway by supplying expensive jewelry made of sapphires, emeralds, diamonds and rubies to celebrities, as well as selling more affordable jewelry throughout the country.
