So, I’ve been getting into jewelry lately, you know, just spicing up my outfits a bit. And I kept hearing about this brand, Kendra Scott. Everyone’s raving about their stuff, saying it’s super stylish but won’t break the bank. Naturally, I got curious. Where is this jewelry even coming from?
First things first, I hit up the internet. I learned that Kendra Scott, the person, started making jewelry way back in 2002. Right out of her spare bedroom in Austin, Texas! How cool is that? She couldn’t find the colorful gemstone pieces she wanted at a price she liked, so she just started making her own. Turns out, she’s originally from Wisconsin, but moved to Texas when she was 16.
Then I dug a little deeper into where the actual jewelry is made now. It seems like Kendra Scott is still designed in Austin, which is pretty neat. They use real gold and stuff, so it’s not just cheap costume jewelry. And get this, when they get their diamonds, they make sure it’s all ethical and above board, following some fancy process. That’s good to know, right?
How I checked out the jewelry
- Browsed the website: I spent a good chunk of time just browsing their website. They’ve got everything – necklaces, bracelets, earrings, rings. I mean, you name it. And they have these sparkly Drusy earrings that everyone’s obsessed with.
- Read some reviews: Of course, I had to see what other people were saying. Mostly good stuff, it seems like people really love the designs and the quality for the price. It’s not like, super high-end, but it’s definitely a step up from what you’d find at a fast-fashion store.
- Checked some stores: I had to see the stuff in person. Some of my friends also have some pieces of it, I asked them and checked them out. The gold pieces are made by layering 14k gold over brass. I guess that’s how they keep the prices down but still have that real gold look.
So, there you have it. Kendra Scott jewelry is designed in Austin, Texas, made with some good quality materials, and it’s a hit with the sorority crowd and their moms. I can see why. It’s pretty, it’s not crazy expensive, and it seems like they try to do things the right way. I might just have to treat myself to a little something-something soon!
