Combat Cougar Bracelets are making a difference at home and oversees. Pictured above from left to right: Two U.S. soldiers happily show off their new Combat Cougar Bracelets; Miss USA shows her support with The Real Cougar Woman, Linda Franklin, at USO event in NYC.

Women everywhere are showing their support for women in the military by wearing our Combat Cougar Bracelets^TM.  Designed by Patty Tobin, these beautiful black and clear crystal bracelets are made in America, by Americans, for America. The Combat Cougars campaign, founded by The Real Cougar Woman, Linda Franklin, is a unique and important initiative that offers each of us a chance to give this lovely and meaningful bracelet as a gift to one of our brave women currently serving in the armed forces.

Sending a bracelet to a women serving in the military is a small token that serves as a reminder to them and to us that even though they are far away, these women are always in our thoughts. Buy one for yourself or for a friend or family member with a loved one currently serving – whether she’s a wife of, daughter of, sister of – and wear it to show your recognition and support for our brave soldiers. “The bracelet is beautiful and I will wear it with pride for all the women in the military, on the top of the list, my beautiful granddaughter, Brooke,” says Marilynn Krause, a proud supporter of Combat Cougars.

Franklin and Tobin are extremely proud to be a part of such an important campaign that continues to pay tribute to our soldiers serving oversees while still managing to direct a portion of sales proceeds to benefit programs serving our women veterans. Miss USA, Rima Fakih, was among those to recently pledge her support and don her new Combat Cougar Bracelet^TM at the USO Woman of the Year Event in April at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City (pictured above with Linda Franklin).

Mother’s day is approaching and what better way to show mom how much she means to you than with a beautiful piece of Patty Tobin Jewelry.

One of our best-sellers, this 36″ Bali sterling silver rope with white freshwater pearls and 18K vermeil Swarovski crystal roundels is known for its versatility. It can be worn long as a single, wrapped as a double or paired with the matching 17″ Bali sterling necklace for a  tripled look.  It definitely speaks for itself on its own but  for an added statement, we recommend the bracelet and earring as well for a whole set anyone will love!

Friends and fans of Patty Tobin gathered last week at our Chelsea boutique for the grand unveiling of our new Spring 2011 line. Patty’s new gemstone lariats took center stage as guests sipped champagne and draped themselves in luscious layers of citrine, amethyst and smokey topaz. The collection was an all around hit and I think it’s safe to say that everyone went home feeling a little more fabulous then when they arrived (- Patty’s jewelry has a tendency to have that effect.)

Among those in attendance was CEO of The Real Cougar Woman, Linda Franklin, our friend and partner in Combat Cougars — an initiative started by Franklin to recognize and support women in the U.S. Military. As a proud participant in Combat Cougars, Tobin designed the Shining Service bracelet, a lovely combination of black and clear Czech crystals, meant to be worn as a show of support for all our brave women in uniform. http://www.therealcougarwoman.com/2011/03/-combat-cougars-are-a-hit.html The bracelets are part of a wear-one-and-share-one campaign that allows individuals to purchase one bracelet for themselves while another is sent as a gift to a woman currently serving in Iraq or Afghanistan. “The ‘shining service bracelets’ are a blessing. http://www.shiningserviceworldwide.com/ They have brought so many women together, not for a cause, but for women period,” says SSG Karen E. McIntire, who is currently serving at Camp Eggers in Afghanistan. To become a part of Combat Cougars, click here to purchase your bracelets today!http://www.shiningserviceworldwide.com/
