Wedding Blog
There are so many details of my wedding that I still have to blog about and never enough time. One of the most wonderful is the jewelry designer who designed and created all of my wedding jewelry: Tobie Bloom. She created our wedding bands, my wedding necklaces, my earrings, and necklaces for all the bridesmaids. We wanted the best quality for eveything, but really shopped around to find someone who would do an excellent job and not gauge us on the price.
Tobie was AMAZING. Did I say amazing? I mean SUPER-AMAZING. You can currently find her work in select Saks 5th Avenue stores, SoHo Gems in NYC, and Joe Brand in Texas, among others. She also has a studio in LA’s jewelry district where she sees clients and all the glittery magic takes place. Oooh, and she was in In Style (Cameron Diaz was wearing her earrings) and People magazine (Vivica Fox was wearing a necklace).
I just adored her — down to earth, makes awesome stuff, and doesn’t charge you what you think she would for the best quality diamonds and craftsmanship. This will have to be a two part blog (at least!) because she is currently putting together a website and I will want to share it. Also, because I don’t have pictures of the bridesmaids necklaces at the moment… and lastly, because she is making a gorgeous tourmaline cocktail ring for me for my birthday — from who else??? Mr. Lily! It should arrive this week!
The best way to contact her now is by phone: 213-622-6436. You could also try her current e-mail tobiebloom@gmail.com but she does not use e-mail often. She is very prompt with phone calls though.
On that note, here are some pictures I wrangled out of her to share. These are just wedding bands, but she does incredible work on engagement rings, including taking a stone you already have and designing a custom setting.
Aren’t these to die for? I just love the one with the little drop. I think it would be adorable if you planned to wear just a band and no engagement ring!
I love these stackables not just for wedding bands! I could totally see a colored band in between two plain ones. Or, my friend Diana has one that has the diamonds and the sapphires that she wears as her wedding band with her engagement diamond.
I heart the mini flowers. They are precious!
I will do a second post with more pretty stuff soon. Don’t y’all love looking at shiny stuff???

how fast is her turnaround? my wedding’s at the end of the month…
i love how she is based out of LA. i am definitely looking in to her work. thanks mrs. lily!!
::drool:: Especially that alternating marquis/round sapphire one (second pic)–it sort of matches my wedding band!
Seriously, she is just the best ever. Her work is stellar. She’s so funny, she will tell you that she won’t put poor quality diamonds in no matter what. She would rather charge you less and put good quality in because she says she can’t have bad stuff with her name on it out there. It’s so true!!!! Aoedorthee and JP — let me know if it works out for you. If she does something for either of you, let me know and I will post it!
This is too funny! Tobie made MY engagement ring. I thought I was the only one who knew about her! Well, me and a friend whose ring I always coveted. I didn’t want a diamond for my ring so she custom made me a gorgeous montana sapphire and white gold ring instead. The color of the sapphire is so incredible… she has a terrific eye. I love that it’s so pretty and that no one in the world has a ring like mine. I thought custom would be out of our price range, but it wasn’t at all!!!
A bunch of you have e-mailed me directly about Tobie. Good luck to you guys!
What are her prices like???
I think her prices are excellent… unless you buy directly from Saks or one of those places, in which case they are more. If you work directly with her then she gives you a big discount! I would give her a call or shoot her an e-mail describing what you are interested in and some contact info for you. She is super nice!!!
Wow! The jewelry is beautiful. I wish I would have seen this sooner. Everything is just stunning, we even have the same first and last name.
Tobi — that’s so funny that you have the same name. It’s an unusual name and very pretty
