Today we perused the JudeFrances jewelry line and selected a few pretty baubles that you might want to gift your mother with for Mother's Day.
You can find the jewelry below on their site, www.judefrances.com.
Here's what they say about themselves on their website:
JudeFrances Jewelry is featured at Neiman Marcus. In just five years, JudeFrances Jewelry has grown from being sold in just three stores to 29 stores. Oprah Winfrey bought a piece of Jude Frances jewelry at Neiman Marcus in Beverly Hills.
Jude and Frances met at a charity dinner in 2002, and have turned their line into a multi-million dollar company. "We are there for each other through thick and thin. Not a day goes by when we don't talk," says Jude.
Frances, mother of two and former owner of an interior design firm, oversees design and operations for JudeFrances. She was born in the English countryside and favors the more romantic, classic styles. Her favorite piece in the line is a JudeFrances diamond monogram necklace that Jude designed especially for her as a birthday gift. Frances is inspired by architecture. In fact, the new Venetian Collection launching in June 2007 was 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 fashion trends.
JudeFrances Jewelry is headquartered in Southern California. Clients include Oprah Winfrey, Kristen Chenoweth and Paris Hilton. The 18kt. gold jewelry line is designed with diamonds and beautiful semi-precious gemstones. It features a unique interchangeable hoop and charm concept along with beautiful necklaces, bracelets and engagement rings.

"Pam's" Real-Life Wow Factor
Jenna Fischer may play a no-nonsense receptionist bride-to-be on NBC hit “The Office,” but in real life, she cleans up well. Very well. She wore a multi floral print silk chiffon V-neck gown with crystal embellished waist from Zuhair Murad’s Resort 2009 collection to the Golden Globes. At the SAG awards, she chose Pamella Roland’s dove grey silk chiffon v-neck gown with yellow beading.

Heigl Not Hiding
She may or may not be leaving "Grey's Anatomy" (our bet is on the former), but rumors have never stopped celebs from doing what they do best, spending all that hard-earned cash. Shopping. Katherine Heigl was out and about getting some much-need retail therapy. She wore the “Aten” sunglasses in Oasis from Sama Eyewear’s new Sahara Collection while out shopping in Los Angeles. These sunglasses are part of the Sama Eyewear Spring/Summer 2009 Collection.

Peaches and Daisy
Peaches Geldolf and Daisy Lowe, London-girls-about-town and fashion favorites, sat in the front row of the Issa runway show and Lowe couldn't seem to get enough of glaceau vitaminwater, which she carried with her throughout the day, much like a baby grasps a binky (or for you Brits -- this is taking place in England, after all -- like a baby grasps a dummy). Not only was she photographed constantly with it, she told a local reporter that the beverage "keeps me fresh and hydrated when I'm running around." Ever being the fashionista, Lowe chose a glaceau vitaminwater, in a hue that coordinated perfectly with her dress.

The Time is White
BeansTalk can no longer ignore that white denim is quickly becoming one the season’s “must have” items. We still adhere to the belief that white is a bad investment, is hard to keep bright, and isn’t flattering for the less-than-perfect figure. Still, nearly every “known” jeans line is creating and promoting a line of white denim.
On the plus side, it is fashionable now, and white goes with everything. There’s a freshness and versatility to white jeans, a crispness that harkens to mind something nautical and clean. White, it has been said, is ideal for spring-into-summer because it seems hopeful and optimistic.
Fashion experts have pointed out that in situations where even the most expensive and darkest of denim isn’t appropriate, white denim is accepted in almost any situation, it can be dressed up or down. White jeans are never casual and perhaps disrespectful, as standard jeans can be construed.
As for that issue we initially brought up, about white being difficult to maintain in its original state, denim is an easy-to-care for fabric and is easily washed in hot or warm water with like colors.
We’ve compiled several styles in varying price range of what’s available in white denim right now – you’re bound to find one within your budget and body-type.
LTB Jeans ($85 to $110) are seen left, in image above.
