Kendra Scott jewelry is synonymous with color. Specifically, the line is known for unique natural stones and elegant filigree details. Indeed, her collection of jewelry and accessories are showstoppers. They dazzle at every turn!

I’m a huge fan of the brand. In fact, I wear her jewelry nearly every single week. Plus, I’ve donned them for special occasions. Remember the Kentucky Derby? We stopped at her store to get a few pieces! Also, vacations in London? The colorful pieces are a must!.

For more than a decade, I’ve invested in her collection. Honestly, it’s one of my all-time favorite brands.

As a female entrepreneur, Kendra Scott grew her Austin, Texas brand. She evolved a small brand into a global juggxrnaught. Overall, I’ve loved seeing her appear on the TV show, Shark Tank. Plus, she’s done a lot of media interviews. She prides herself on family, fashion, and philanthropy. Also, she grew up in Kenosha, Wisconsin. She’s a Midwest girl at heart, which makes me so happy!

How Kendra Scott Gives Back

Giving back to charities and communities is a core tenet of the Kendra Scott brand. In fact, it’s part of why I support the brand. When I purchase the jewelry, the little yellow box is more than sparkly things. Overall, it means that I’m supporting a company who supports others.

All in all, Kendra splits the giving into a few categories. Overall, Kendra Scott sets the standard in terms of corporate social responsibility. Trust, take note!
