The Bold and the Beautiful

April 8th, 2011 @ 1:15 pm by Mrs. Sparkler

I knew I wanted something big and bold when it came to my wedding-day jewelry. I don’t do “dainty” very well, and intricate jewels kind of freak me out. Since I’m not very coordinated, and I tend to get the fragile stuff caught on door handles, zippers, dog paws, etc. So when it came time to start looking for the statement-making (but sturdy) jewelry I craved, I knew I would turn to my old pal Kendra Scott (OK, we aren’t really pals, but I feel like a jewelry-making friend would be a pretty great thing to have).

Her jewelry is uh-mazing.

And clearly I’m not the only one obsessed with her stuff. I’m always seeing Kendra Scott jewels featured in US Weekly, InStyle, etc.

But what really just kills me is the price. For example:

These babies…

… are $60. And we’re talking real stones here. God bless you, K Scott.

There’s also a cool Color Bar feature on the site, where you can customize certain pieces with your choice of stones and settings:

Right now, I’ve got my eye on a few pieces as potential wedding-day “bling”. I’m thinking of going all white for the ceremony, and mega-bright for the reception.

For the ceremony:

Carmella Stud Earring in White Lily / $70

For the reception:

Grace Statement Necklace in Crush / $245

Anyone else thinking of using Kendra Scott for bridal jewelry or bridesmaids’ presents?

Oh, and I recently discovered that if you sign up for the email newsletter, you get a 20% off coupon in your mailbox immediately! Score!

Thank you so much for this post, Miss Sparkler!!! I actually am somewhat opposite from you, I don’t really do BOLD jewelry. I have some colorful stuff, but its nothing crazy. I’m pretty simple when it comes to jewelry, so I figured this was going to be one of my most difficult tasks. Actually even coming up with where to look for jewelry stressed me out. But this site looks freakin awesome!! How fun!

Love your possible picks. How fun to put something colorful on for the reception. Especially when its totally you! :)

Before I found my earrings, I contemplated the Carmella studs. Thanks for the tip about the 20% off!
