Patty Tobin returns to Bloomingdale’s White Plains to kick-off the Fall & Winter Trunk Show Season.
It’s October and already Patty Tobin is in full swing with her second circuit of Bloomingdale’s Trunk Shows! After a successful series of spring shows, jewelry designer Patty Tobin kicked off her Fall-Winter line-up with Trunk Show events at Bloomingdale’s White Plains, the 59th Street flagship store in New York City, The Shops at Riverside (Hackensack, NJ) and in Willow Grove, PA.
Two necklaces shown. Each has three graduated strands of pearls and semiprecious gemstones ($495 & $695).
Among the many beautiful new arrivals on display at Bloomingdale’s bi-annual HOT event was one of my personal, all-time favorite Patty pieces (shown left).
Two separate — but stackable — bib-style necklaces (one longer, one shorter) made from three graduated strands of small bronze pearls, copper coin pearls, and bigger round baroque honey-golden pearls. The faceted citrine and amethyst briolettes that are woven into each strand gives each necklace an added depth and dimension by using gemstones that capture and reflect light as you as move. Combine them as one, and you have a truly exceptional piece of jewelry.
…such a classic Patty piece!
Abalone Torsade with large sterling silver clasp, $895.
Among the other favorites customers “ooh-ed” and “ahh-ed” over at our first few shows was this beautiful new abalone torsade (shown right).
The colors are simply stunning and appear to morph as you move: primarily a brilliant greenish-teal-blue, the abalone flashes hints of everything from fuchsia and purple to even citrus-green and shades of amber. Sure to brighten your mood as soon as you put it on, the second best part of this piece is how surprisingly lightweight it is for its size! You would think it must be a heavy piece, but you’d be surprised how light and airy the abalone feels around your neck — a winning combo, if I do say so myself.
Always a popular piece, Patty Tobin’s aqua quartz briolette torsade (below left) was back at the show drawing in customers like moths to a flame. This necklace is total eye-candy. It’s bright crystal blue color combined with the eye catching sparkle of all the different size briolettes pointing every which way. It’s like a magnet…it just pulls you right in!
No doubt a “conversation piece, this aqua quartz torsade will have people coming across the room to compliment you any time you wear it. It’s made from three strands of faceted aqua quartz briolettes of various sizes and comes with an adjustable length sterling silver clasp, $895.
Although known for her larger “statement” necklaces, Patty Tobin has a beautiful collection of delicate chain pearl and gemstone chain necklaces like the Tourmaline & Garnet 18K Vermeil Chain ($395) shown above. Two long necklaces are shown above. Each has its own clasp, allowing it to be worn doubled or even tripled.
Our new white chalcedony briolette necklace has been a tremendous hit so far this season! We simply cannot keep it in stock. As soon as one comes in, it flies right back out. And, at Bloomingdale’s it was no different. This seemingly understated — or arguably “simple” — single-strand necklace packs way more of a punch than you might think! Compared to some of the other necklaces it sits beside, it may not look like a killer, but trust me, once you put it on, you will fall in love. Lightweight and easy to pair with any kind of outfit, this necklace is a perfect example of a Patty Tobin piece that goes “black tie to blue jeans.”
White Chalcedony briolettes with a crystal-set 18K vermeil ball twist clasp, $495.
Last but certainly not least, we have two beautiful new pearl pieces in our collection of fall favorites! These baroque keshi pearls are so unusual in their size and shape and both have a natural luster that makes them shine like satin. The pink lariat (left) was especially attractive to shoppers at our latest shows as pink continues to be one of the hot colors this season.
New Arrivals: Baroque Keshi Pearl lariat in pink ($495) and baroque freshwater pearl pendant necklace ($495).
