There's an upscale Bohemian chic vibe to Kendra Scott's jewelry — she incorporates gemstones into her designs in a way that allows them to dazzle in their own right, rather than obfuscating their innate splendor with excess ornamentation. Take, for example, the "Danielle" earrings pictured above, one of the standout pieces in her Spring 2010 collection. The earrings feature statement-making center stones in an elongated oval shape with angled edges along the top and bottom.
The "Danielle" earrings are set in 14k gold plated over brass and measure 2.25" in length and 1" in width. You can choose from the following center stones: plum jade (shown at top), magnasite turquoise (shown second from top), pink rose quartz (pictured fourth from top), cobalt jade (pictured third from top), pyrite, white mother-of-pearl, and aqua amazonite.
Celebrities have been swooning over these — Michelle Trachtenberg has been rocking the turquoise ones non-stop, The View host Elisabeth Hasselbeck wore the white ones on air, and Rachael Ray wore the plum number in her show.
I personally love the plum jade number and the pink rose quartz style, but any of these would get top shelf positioning in my jewelry box!
