We are always talking about all the different ways you can wear Patty Tobin jewelry — whether it’s layering it with another piece, wearing the clasp to the front, or being a little more daring and wearing some of our longer pieces off your shoulder or draped down your back and Yuko totally gets it! Her talents coupled with our jewelry and the amazing photography of Brian Offidani, hair by Yas, and makeup by Monique Mansour, Esthetique provides the fashion find of the year for all you fashionistas out there looking for inspiration.

Patty Tobin for Yurga

Jewelry designer, Yurga Lago, recently hosted New York jewelry designer, Patty Tobin, at her boutique in Klaipeda, reports a local magazine there. Guests of the evening previewed Patty Tobin for Yurga – a new collection of luxury necklaces, bracelets and earrings, all made from semiprecious gemstones and precious metals. Everyone in attendance agreed the only difficult part of the evening was choosing which one of the designer’s stunning pieces was their favorite – a very positive overall reflection of the night, we think.

This event and a second trunk show in Vilnius held the same week marked the first of many joint ventures between the two designers. With help from Tobin, Yurga’s jewelry made its debut on the CBS Early Show when Dr. Jennifer Hartstein sported one her new pins on a segment back in November.

Yurga and Tobin are also gearing up for the opening of a joint showroom in New York City around April 2012 with a debut party for Yurga hosted by Tobin at her Chelsea boutique later that fall. The two believe their collaboration is just the ticket for expanding each designer’s global audience, their clientele base as well as their brand recognition on an international level.

It is all very exciting and we can’t wait to build more on the success of December’s shows in Lithuania, so stay tuned for more over the coming year!

Patty & Yurga Celebrate After Debut in Klaipeda

After a successful show in Vilnius, Patty traveled to Lithuania’s coastal city of Klaipeda with Yurga last week and was welcomed by friends, clients and media for her second show on Saturday. The reception was wonderful. Guests came with flowers and good wishes for Patty and left with reserves on their favorite pieces for the holidays. Many boasted of their excitement for such a wonderful addition to their favorite Lithuanian jewelry designer’s collection now that Patty and Yurga are in full collaboration mode.

You could really feel the holiday spirit in the air at both events. The women were lovely and so eager to welcome a new designer and her beautiful collection to their cities. There is not enough that can be said for Yurga herself, an amazing jewelry designer she is, but such a wonderfully sweet woman besides. We are so thrilled to be partnering with her and to welcome her into our own family here at Patty Tobin. Yurga is convinced the holiday season will be successful and has no doubts that she’ll sell out Patty’s entire collection!

Once the holidays are behind us, Patty and Yurga will be moving full steam ahead in their collaboration efforts with plans to open a joint showroom in NYC sometime in 2012. Patty also plans to host Yurga’s U.S. debut in NYC next fall. Exciting developments lay ahead, so stay tuned for more!
