Sophisticated Weddings has remained the No. 1 bridal magazine in New York City for the past five years straight. It is a staple reference guide among all of Manhattan’s elite brides and is known for recognizing only the crème de la crème of wedding vendors, services and products.
As part of the Sophisticated Weddings family, Patty Tobin jewelry will be featured alongside the top-shelf bridal resources collected and promoted by the magazine over the years.
In addition to appearing in both the print and online editions of the magazine, Patty Tobin will participate in various online promotions and special events sponsored by Sophisticated Weddings during the coming year.

As a special welcome gift, we were offered the opportunity to have these special wedding themed photographs taken. Each photo features one of our necklaces draped atop these marvelous floral wedding cakes. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Mr. Steve Sendor for making this sweet bridal jewelry photo shoot happen and for his splendid photographs — bravo Steve! We would also like to thank the incredible artisans at Madison Lee Cakes for their amazing floral creations.
Our 2018 Patty Tobin Bridal Collection will offer many wedding jewelry selections for brides and bridesmaids, of course, but it is worth noting that our wedding jewelry will continue to reflect a particular focus on Mothers’ of the Bride & Groom.

Our Collection offers a wide range of price points and styles for our clients. Brides and bridesmaids styles start at $145-$295 for delicate freshwater pearl necklaces and sparkling CZ floaters set in sterling silver or yellow gold vermeil while our Couture selection of triple-A grade precious and semiprecious gemstones and South Sea Pearls like those shown above can run between $1500-$3500.
Working with crystals and gemstones in such a wide variety of colors, allows us to easily work with clients to design color-specific jewelry to pair with existing outfits such as bridesmaids dresses or the gown you finally found to wear as the Mother of the Bride (or Groom).
Much more to come, so stay tuned for updates and announcements here and on our Facebook page!

May is one of our favorite months of the year. It’s a month filled with small delights. Things like, tossing those heavy scarves back into the closet, enjoying the lightness of seasonal attire, soaking up all the beautiful bright colors of blossoms blooming all around town, and enjoying the extra hour or two of daylight that comes with the first months of Spring.
With colors popping everywhere and spirits high from the returning warm weather, May is the perfect month to pick up a new piece of Patty Tobin to adorn that freshly bared neck and we have a beautiful selection of new pieces for you to choose from for spring into summer.
Mother’s Day is the highlight of May and the perfect time to give a gift of Patty Tobin Jewelry. And for all of our Capital District customers, you can now find Patty Tobin Jewelry at Connelly’s Diamond Gallery in Newton Plaza in Latham! Many of our clients are men shopping for their wives and we know how they love to give a gift of fine jewelry and Patty Tobin never disappoints — and with a price that doesn’t break the bank, he’ll be as happy to give as you are to receive.
All three of the necklaces above are available at Connelly’s Diamond Gallery in Newton Plaza (Latham, NY). From left to right: Watermelon Tourmaline Bib Necklace, $895; Apatite Torsade with Sterling Silver Handcrafted Artisan Pendant featuring an Aquamarine Cabochon, $2,395; Watermelon Tourmaline 18K Vermeil Wire-Wrap Chain with Round 18K Vermeil Brushed Discs, $495.

Bring your friends and join us on Thursday, March 30th for “Ladies Night Out” from 6-8pm for a splendid evening of cocktails, refreshments, raffles, and Patty Tobin Jewelry. Ladies are invited to bring their girlfriends and sip sangria while shopping to benefit Christ the King’s Early Childhood Center in Albany, NY.
This special (adults-only) event only comes once a year and it is held to raise funds for a wonderful local children’s organization, which is why Patty Tobin will personally travel to Albany to not only attend, but to lend her support for the effort.
Patty Tobin Jewelry will be showcased and open for sale during the two-hour event, providing guests with an exceptional opportunity to treat themselves AND to give to a wonderful local organization devoted to the learning and education of young children. (Patty has graciously agreed to donate a portion of proceeds directly to Christ the King’s Early Childhood Center.)
Details are available on the Events Page of our website and don’t forget to check out Patty Tobin on Facebook and Instagram to stay up to date on all her latest designs, upcoming events, and other special announcements.
As Valentine’s Day approaches, Patty Tobin is putting her heart into a very special private Trunk Show.
Hosted by Capital District Physicians’ Health Plan (CDPHP).
The event will benefit two inspiring Capital Region non-profits: Family Promise of the Capital Region & The Bus Stop Club.
This Thursday, February 9th, Patty Tobin will showcase her beautiful handcrafted semi-precious gemstone and pearl jewelry collection from 11:30AM – 1:30PM for a private trunk show event at CDPHP‘s main office in Albany (visit our events page). For those unfamiliar with CDPHP, it is an award-winning, not-for-profit, physician-founded and doctor-directed health plan provider based up in Albany (where we’re from). The philanthropic arm of the company, CDPHP The Foundation, has earned a reputation for being an excellent and very active benefactor in the communities in which it operates.
Our work with CDPHP has highlighted one aspect of the company’s mission, which I think is particularly distinguishing and progressive. The Foundation goes above and beyond the bounds of what’s “normally” provided by your health care company by actually stepping out and investing real time and real money IN your community.
Their efforts “to support civic and cultural activities in CDPHP communities,” are genuinely felt in the communities they serve. This Thursday, for instance will bring together many different philanthropic persons and organizations to work collectively to raise monies for two unique organizations:
Family Promise of the Capital Region (recently named the Charity of Choice for 2017 by CDPHP) helps homeless families stay together and assists them with everything from food and shelter to helping them get back on their feet, find a job, and secure a home for their family in a way that is sustainable.
The Bus Stop Club, is the second, and it devotes extra time, attention, support — and oftentimes just “fun” — in safe, supervised environments for the siblings of children diagnosed with chronic illness or developmental, physical, or intellectual disabilities; situations which often leave those kids inadvertently neglected or overlooked by parents and family members trying to cope/manage their other child’s all-consuming illness; leaving this child vulnerable to early onset depression.
These Rose Amethyst stones offer a rare shade of lavender…they are translucent, and yet, they still hold varying degrees of rich to pale purple with warm glimmers of honied yellow
that appear and disappear with
the light as you move.
This is the gorgeous Rose Amethyst necklace Patty Tobin is donating to CDPHP for this event. The necklace, a $795 retail value, will be “raffled off” during Thursday’s event and ALL proceeds will go to Family Promise and The Bus Stop Club.
Patty has worked with, participated in, donated to more charitable organizations than any individual or business I’ve ever worked for — and I worked in fundraising for years. Like many Americans, she is a small business owner, bootstrapping her way through these challenging and uncertain times, and as such, I can attest to the fact that donating not only one’s product, but one’s time and energy as well, is no small thing. But, regardless, I have never seen Patty turn her back to any person or group in need of help. Indeed, for being such a tiny person, the woman really does have the biggest heart of anyone I’ve ever met.
Please come out and “Shop Small” this coming Saturday, November 26th! Patty Tobin Fine Fashion Jewelry boutique will be open and ready to serve you as only a small business can. We open at 11AM and close at 6PM, but don’t forget you can always schedule an appointment outside of our regular store hours to come in. If you can’t make it to the shop then we invite you to visit our online store and continue supporting our local small business. Happy holidays!
Our Sparkle & Tease event to raise money for Pets for Vets was a riot and tons of fun. Les Femmes Fatales put on a show for our guests and lit up the shop with their tantalizing performance. We think the pictures from that night (courtesy of Sofiography) capture the evening perfectly. Take a look:

Patty Tobin is excited to announce our upcoming showcase in Charleston, South Carolina! Thanks to our friend and fabulous jewelry designer, Deirdre Zahl, we will debut Patty Tobin Fine Fashion Jewelry in this coveted Southern market in early December. You may remember last year when we hosted Dierdre for a trunk show of her Candy Shop Vintage jewelry line at our New York City Boutique. (For a look back at that event, click here.)
New this season, Patty Tobin has created a beautiful collection of semiprecious gemstone necklaces, each featuring a one-of-a-kind hand-crafted wire-wrap pendant like this Sterling Silver work of art. Shown above is a multi-strand appetite gemstone necklace with a large Sterling Silver pendant that wraps around a central Aquamarine gemstone.
We will join Dierdre at her Candy Shop Vintage store on Cannon St. in the heart of Charleston on December 2nd and 3rd for a special two-day “Sip’n’Shop” event. We have wanted to enter the Charleston scene for years and introduce our line to the Southern ladies that have a reputation for always dressing to impress. We hope they will turn out for this fun event and meet Patty Tobin in-person and see her newest collections of colorful semiprecious gemstone and pearl jewelry. Patty will be bringing an all-new collection with her to showcase, and we can promise it will be worth the trip downtown!
Large and lustrous, these stunning South Sea Pearls are hand-knotted on silk and feature a Sterling Silver and Gold hand-crafted wire-wrap pendant with a beautiful Moonstone centerpiece. One of a kind by Patty Tobin.
