FASHION & PHILANTHROPY

Teresian House Fashion Show Fundraiser with Patty Tobin

Next Thursday we will be participating in a special fundraising event up in Albany that is particularly near and dear to our hearts. The Teresian House Foundation will hold its annual luncheon and fashion show to raise funds to benefit The Teresian House Center for the Elderly. All funds raised will go to improvements and upgrades to their current facilities — and, by extension, to benefit their many elderly residents.

Patty Tobin will be showcased at the Luncheon and available for purchase with portioned proceeds going to benefit Teresian House.

Patty Tobin will be at the event showcasing her jewelry, which will be available to purchase.

Patty Tobin Fine Fashion Jewelry is collaborating with Circles (of Stuyvesant Plaza) for the fashion show itself, and donating their own portion of proceeds to the cause. We at Patty Tobin can personally vouch for the worthiness of this organization and its mission. Earlier this year, we experienced firsthand the turbulent and trying woe of trying to care for an aging relative.

When Patty’s mother — my Nana — became ill in late January, nothing could have prepared us for the rapid decline we would witness over the next few months. Nana’s physical and psychological wellness suddenly plummeted. She now required 24/7 care. You can imagine what our family went through over the next few months.

Patty Tobin will donate a portion of the proceeds from  sales to the Teresian House.

Patty will donate a portion of proceeds to the cause.

Patty had worked with the Teresian House over the years, but it was this first-hand experience that revealed the real significance and true value of the services offered by the Teresian House. It is the gold standard in terms of quality care, devotion, and respect for the many elderly individuals who reside there.

This sentiment is well captured in the organization’s mission statement, which reads:

Recognizing the value and the sanctity of life, the Mission of Teresian House is to provide the elderly, the highest quality continuum of services, which enhance their physical, spiritual, social, psychological and emotional well-being. This is implemented through a caring staff, volunteers, family and friends who dedicate themselves to care for the elderly.
Teresian House Mission Statement

Tickets for the luncheon are still available. We hope that our Albany friends will come out to join us for this important event. It is certainly a worthy cause. Here are the event details in full for next week:

Coming Soon…Improving Your Online Shopping Experience at PattyTobin.com

October 10, 2015  |  News & Events
We’re making it easier than ever to Shop Online at PattyTobin.com!

Exciting news for all our Patty Tobin fans out there! We’re already hard at work on a number of brand new user-friendly enhancements to our online store! In addition to creating a specialized mobile site that will make online shopping for Patty Tobin Fine Fashion Jewelry a breeze, we’re improving the navigation and organization of our site to provide our customers with a much smoother, easy to browse on-the-go experience.

And the good news doesn’t stop there — drum roll please — we’re also changing our existing Return & Exchange Policy and introducing new complimentary and reduced Shipping & Handling Rates for all online orders! We’ve put together a quick overview to highlight some of the most exciting new developments coming soon to PattyTobin.com. Read on!

Here’s a snapshot of the new and improved online experience coming soon to PattyTobin.com

patty tobin shop mobile

Shop on-the-go with your Mobile phone or Tablet

I am especially excited to announce that we are currently working on a redesigned Mobile experience for our website and online store. Soon customers will be able to smoothly and easily navigate their way around our site and shopping cart without having to constantly “double tap” and “pinch in”/”pinch out” on their screens in order to zoom in and out.

Our new Mobile layout will feature all the same content as our traditional desktop site, but with responsive views that automatically arrange text and image content to its optimal viewing potential; making it a breeze to easily move around the site. Users can expect not only to have a much easier time browsing our online store, but it will be easier than ever to check out our latest news and press stories, our upcoming special events like our own in-store boutique events and our Bloomingdale’s Trunk Shows.

In addition to larger product images with plenty of alternate product views, Patty Tobin shippers can look forward to quick and easy shortcuts to popular categories like Customer Favorites, As Seen At Bloomingdale’s, Mother of the Bride and Bridal jewelry, as well as Special Collections like our classic — and best selling — Shell Pearls, our colorful Fire Agates, and long time fall favorite, our Multicolored Tiger Eye Collection.

Our new Mobile site is just one of the many improvements that we are certain you’re going to LOVE! And they’ll be here just in time for the Holidays!! 

patty tobin new and improved online store

More to shop: New styles to shop from online, including lots more Bracelets and Earrings

In addition to more frequent updates to our online merchandise selection, including new styles as well as some of our classic Patty Tobin designs, we are responding to the numerous requests we have received from existing customers for a greater selection of bracelets and earrings. Over the next month or so we will be getting as many new products up on our site as possible with a special emphasis on more earrings and more bracelets. We encourage all our customers to keep this in mind as we approach the Holiday Season!

We’re improving our Return Policy

As many of you know, our Return Policy has always been a strict Return for Store Credit only policy. We realize, however, that as we move ahead in enhancing our online shopping experience, it is crucial for customers to feel they have the option to order a piece of jewelry and to have the opportunity to try it on before deciding if they want to keep it.

Now customers will have the chance to do just that! We will now be offering a limited time-frame for customers to receive their order and return their purchase should they choose. As we are still a small business, we cannot allow that window to be indefinite, so for the time being customers will have a seven day window from the date of delivery to mail back any unwanted merchandise for a full refund.

return policyPlease Note: We want to remind our customers that, as always, should you receive a product from us that requires an adjustment, such as a length change, a clasp replacement, etc. we are always happy to accommodate you whenever we can.

Some situations may require an additional nominal fee, but that is entirely dependent upon each specific request, which is why we strongly encourage our customers to reach out to us to discuss your options before rushing to make a return.

Free Shipping on all orders of $295 or more

In plenty of time for the holidays, customers will be able to enjoy Free Priority Shipping on all purchases of $295* or more** at PattyTobin.com. All orders of $294.99 or less will still benefit from our new discounted Flat Rate* standard shipping fee of only $7.99.

*Free shipping minimum requires a pre-tax amount of $295.

**These rates apply only to destinations within the continental U.S. (Alaska and Hawaii are not included under this policy). International shipments do not qualify for free or flat rate shipping rates. Shipping rates for international orders vary by destination; we encourage customers interested in international shipping orders to contact us directly for more information.

We look forward to changing the way you shop at PattyTobin.com
Stay tuned for more news and updates!

Mother Of The Bride Jewelry Dos & Don’ts by Sophisticated Weddings Magazine

mother of the bride jewelry by patty tobin

Like mother, like daughter… both are wearing pearls by Patty Tobin Fine Fashion Jewelry.

Do: Coordinate with the wedding style and color scheme… Don’t: Match the bridesmaids.

Your mother holds a unique place in your heart and your wedding. Don’t make the mistake of grouping her into the look you’ve delegated for your bridesmaids. Instead, consider letting Mom look and feel distinguished in a role that is all her own. A great way for her to achieve a radiant look that also complements the tone of the wedding is to reflect the color scheme with a gemstone in Mom’s jewelry.

The Monique Lhuillier Fine Jewelry collection features blue sapphires, mirroring a navy color scheme exquisitely. The only thing that could make this more perfect is if the bride walks down the aisle in a Monique Lhuillier gown, really tying the elements of design together.

Do: Incorporate a special memory into Mom’s jewelry… Don’t: Overlook that the little things matter too.

A small but significant detail can say a thousand words. Sharing a lifetime of memories and experiences, there has never been a more perfect time to pay homage to the journey that led you here.

Maps by A.Jaffe make for an incredibly thoughtful gift that is sure to ignite special memories. Honor the place you and Mom hold dear with a modern heirloom that tells the story of a beloved place in the world, and in your hearts. Each custom-made piece is engraved with the special location of your choice, pinpointed by a diamond to mark the spot.

Do: Go Classic, but modern… Don’t: Wear a bulky necklace that was on-trend circa 1987.

Mom needs something new to commemorate this occasion. After all, she will cherish this day for years to come, and neither of you should look back on family portraits with regret. It is amazing what confidence a new piece of jewelry can inspire. Encourage Mom to update her look while staying true to her classic roots in this gorgeous pearl necklace by Patty Tobin.

Classic strands of pearls, but Patty Tobin Fine Fashion Jewelry.

Classic strands of pearls, but Patty Tobin Fine Fashion Jewelry.

Do: Honor the important women in your life that have shaped the person you are today by inviting them to participate in the selection experience… Don’t: Forget to share a special bonding experience just with Mom.

Moms, aunts, sisters- two things are certain: they’ve been there for you through it all, and they love a touch of frosting. By inviting them along- whether your stepmom or mother-in-law to be- this is a great way to honor the relationship, and show that person how much they mean to you. London Jewelers offers an endless variety to suit every taste and occasion, and is the perfect destination to bring your loved ones. Just make sure that you get some one-on-one time with Mom too. You’re about to marry the man of your dreams, but you’ll always be her little girl.

Do: Take this opportunity to go custom… Don’t: Just assume Mom has something lying around.

Reserve the something old and borrowed for your bridal look- not theirs! Your mother is like a snowflake- there’s simply nothing and no one on the planet like her. It might seem like no matter how much of a selection there is, no one piece truly captures her magic. Creating a custom piece of jewelry is a wonderful way to give Mom something that no one else can have.

Whether you work your artistic side to create a piece by your own invention, or collaborate with a jewelry designer, you can be sure that Mom wears something that was literally made for her. Jewelry designers at Greenwich Jewelers work hand-in-hand with clients to make one-of-a-kind creations. Beginning with pencil and paper to sketch ideas, and working closely together as the vision comes to life, there is nothing that isn’t possible to properly capture Mom’s beauty.

Mother’s Day is on Sunday, May 10th.
