The partnership between Jude and Frances is as brilliant as the pieces they create. Born in the English Countryside and educated in antique jewelry by her father, Frances infuses a conservative and more timeless element to the line. A native Texan, Jude injects a hint of funkiness into their designs, opting for colorful stones and wrapping some of the stones in gold and diamonds. Jude Frances can be found in over 100 boutiques and department stores across the country, including Neiman Marcus and Bloomingdale's.
