JudeFrances Jewlery - The Story
Although they are as different as white and yellow gold, when Jude Steele and Frances Gadbois met at a charity dinner in 2002, they instantly knew they would make ideal business partners. Just six years later, not only have they become best friends, but together, they have turned JudeFrances Jewelry into a multi-million dollar brand retailed in Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Fred Segal, and luxury boutiques across the country.
Frances, a mother of two who ran an interior design firm prior to launching JudeFrances, oversees design and operations for the company. She was born in the English countryside and favors more romantic, classic styles. Inspired by architecture, she recently created the Limited Edition Collection, inspired by a trip she and Jude took to Italy for Frances' 40th birthday. "The iron grill work I saw in Venice inspired our new diamond overlay designs."
Jude, mother of three, leads sales and marketing. This Texas native inspires the edgier side of the line. Her favorite piece in the line is a white gold cuff bracelet with a diamond cross that Frances gave her as a birthday gift. Jude is inspired by fashion and style and has a knack for staying ahead of the trends.
Starting with their now-famous signature interchangeable hoop and charm earrings concept, JudeFrances has evolved into a comprehensive line featuring beautiful necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings across several collections, including the newly launched limited edition and bridal collections, as well as their core and seasonal offeringsEach delectable piece perfectly reflects what today’s classic, smart, sexy, luxe sophisticate adores: a unique aesthetic, uncompromising quality, and 18K gold jewelry designed with diamonds and luxurious semi-precious gemstones.
Headquartered in Southern California, JudeFrances is coveted by the media, consumers and celebs alike – from Oprah Winfrey (who recently purchased a JudeFrances piece from Neiman Marcus) to Kristen Chenoweth, who for the last year has been the face of JudeFrance’s advertising campaign.
Getting Married Later This Year? You will need ... Something New. Something Blue.
Brides-to-be everywhere have finally got what they’ve been asking for: luxury jewelry designer JudeFrances has launched their first-ever exclusive bridal collection. Created for the luxe sophisticate, each piece is created by JudeFrances co-founder and designer Francis Gadbois, featuring her much-coveted design aesthetic married with the highest quality. Each 18K gold or platinum diamond eternity band features an extra-special element: a secretly set small blue sapphire stone along the interior band to represent “Something Blue”—the age-old bridal sentiment reflecting love, faithfulness and loyalty.
Quaint Says: A ring couldn't be more quaint! That is just the coolest thing ever. This would make the perfect valentines day gift too!
For those that know Frances and her partner in JudeFrances Jewlery, Jude Steele, it’s no wonder that the duo have entered into the bridal category. Ever the designer, Frances has earned herself quite the reputation for constantly changing out her wedding ring with new settings; so much so, her husband often asks, “Is that a new ring?”
Meanwhile, Frances has frequently been asked by all of her friends and family to design “something special” for their weddings. Armed with nothing more than the center diamond, Frances took these opportunities to create beautiful rings that seemed to always be exactly what the bride had in mind.
As luck would have it, just when Jude and Frances decided they had enough experience and design inspiration to launch a comprehensive bridal collection, Jude got engaged. Frances couldn’t wait to start designing a ring for Jude and created a showcase piece that instantly became a best seller in this highly-coveted bridal collection.
As with all JudeFrances Jewelry, no attention to detail and quality is overlooked. Each ring is microscopic set with GVS stones by only the finest setters in the industry, personally inspected by Frances one diamond at a time, ensuring that only the whitest diamonds are used in each setting. Before any ring from JudeFrances bridal is shipped, it’s checked at least five times by quality control before they are approved for shipping, promising a superior ring.
The JudeFrances Bridal Collection is available at Neiman Marcus and exclusive boutiques across the country. For more information, please visit www.judefrances.com.
