Lauren K Trunk Show – Saturday, December 5, 2009 from 12:00 – 7:00 p.m.

From antique cushion-cut rings and diamond pendants to chandelier earrings and hand-hammered gold, the extensive line offers a substantial mix of fashionable designs with timeless appeal. The “bohemian chic” designs feature a rainbow of color with pink tourmalines, aquamarines, yellow beryls, and peridot, among other striking gems. Lauren’s latest collections consist of long layered necklaces, rings in brushed yellow gold with gemstones in earthy hues, stacking bangles, and rose-cut sapphire rings. The surprisingly price-conscious line is a profusion of tempting creations, ranging from stylish daywear to exquisite statement pieces.

Jude Frances Trunk Show – Friday, December 10, 2009 from 12:00 – 7:00 p.m.

Jude Frances Jewelry is a fast growing designer jewelry brand at Neiman Marcus. In just five years, JudeFrances 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. “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. Its famous 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.

Leslie Greene Trunk Show – Saturday, Decmber 19, 2009 from 12:00 – 7:00 p.m.

An entrepreneur with a creative heart and strategic mind for business, Leslie Greene was inspired to design her own line to satisfy every woman’s desire for fine jewelry that flaunts chic style, luxurious quality and a timeless, classic appeal. Designing jewelry for over 16 years, her talent for combining treasured classics with modern trends has truly brought her to the forefront of the fine jewelry industry. Leslie’s philosophy is that jewelry should make a signature statement, personal statement, meaning much more than just a simple finishing touch. She aspires to create pieces that become a reflection of who a woman is, not what she wears.

A true designer, Leslie’s collections are the culmination of her creative interests, including fashion, home decor, antiquing and the fine arts. As an avid world traveler, rare antiques, vintage wallpapers and historical architecture lend inspiration to new designs. The daughter of a textile designer, Leslie is also very much influenced by fashion and fabrics of the past and present.

Since graduating from New York’s prestigious Fashion Institute of Technology, Leslie has been recognized by the fine jewelry industry for her design talent. Prestigious awards and honors include Town and Country’s Diamond Designer Excellence Award 1997, the Women Jewelers Association Award for Excellence in Design 1997, JQ International Magazine’s 2006 Annual Retailer’s Choice Award–Designer of the Year, and the 2004 JA Golden Apple Award.
