Designer Fine Jewelry Brand

In just five years, Jude Frances Jewelry has grown from being sold in just 3 stores to 29 stores. In fact, Oprah Winfrey bought a piece of Jude Frances jewelry at Neiman Marcus in Beverly Hills. Although they admit that they are as different as white and yellow gold, when Jude and Frances met at a charity dinner in 2002, they instantly knew they would make ideal business partners. Today, not only have they become best friends, they have turned their line into a multi-million dollar company.
