Sloane Street Jewelry: Chic and Fashion Forward Memories

04.07.15

When your mom is Frances Gadbois, former designer and cofounder of JudeFrances Jewelry, and you have a quest to do something in honor of your grandmother, as Charlotte Gadbois a Chapman University student did, you encourage your mom to come out with a debut collection, named Sloane Street.

The mother and daughter Gadbois duo share emotional ties to Alzheimer's, as Charlotte’s grandmother (Frances’ mother) passed away from Alzheimer's. In her memory they created Sloane Street a fashion forward and chic jewelry collection.

They have partnered with the Alzheimer's Association and have designed five exclusive pieces where 100% of the proceeds goes back to Alzheimer's. 

Frances travels the world searching for luxurious stones for the fresh and vibrant color combinations that make the collection a standout. There’s lapis with blue sapphire, ruby with pink sapphire, or bold combinations of lapis with tsavorite or mango chalcedony with pink sapphires.

Sloane Street’s Initially Yours collection can be personalized for any occasion with his and hers initials to a ring, pendant or earrings. Custom designs are also available to update pre-owned stones into pieces that will be worn for years to come.

Charlotte shares the same work ethic and creativity as her mother, but brings a new perspective and trendy vibe to Sloane Street. She studied for six months in Paris and returned with the determination to design her own classic and delicate pieces, Sage By Sloane Street, a 14k collection that’s ideal for 20 something’s.  

All Sloane Street collections, Sloane, Sage and Classics can be found at SloaneSt.com or by appointment at 949.759.8010.
