Jewelry retailer Kendra Scott is offering its first collection featuring lab-grown diamonds, according to a press release by the company.
Lab-grown diamonds allow control of clarity, cut and production of the stones, which, according to the brand, offers savings for customers. Prices for the 11-piece lab-grown diamond collection will fall between $500 and $2950. The collection is available online and at 50 store locations.
The Kendra Scott brand is known for its jewelry and accessory collections as well as its physical presence at American malls and shopping centers. Kendra Scott has also held wholesale partnerships with Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s and Dillard’s.
“We pride ourselves on putting the customer first and we heard over the years that our customers wanted to shop with us for fine jewelry because they loved the company, they loved that we give back, and they wanted their jewelry collections to grow alongside our product assortment,” namesake Founder and Chief Creative Officer Kendra Scott said in the press release.
Four Decades of Excellence: How Wilkerson Transformed a Jeweler's Retirement into Celebration
After 45 years serving the Milwaukee community, Treiber & Straub Jewelers owner Michael Straub faced a significant life transition. At 75, the veteran jeweler made a personal decision many business owners understand: "I think it's time. I want to enjoy my wife with my grandchildren for the next 10, 15 years."
Wilkerson's expertise transformed this major business transition into an extraordinary success. Their comprehensive approach to managing the going-out-of-business sale created unprecedented customer response—with lines forming outside the store and limits on how many shoppers could enter at once due to fire safety regulations.
The results exceeded all expectations. "Wilkerson did a phenomenal job," Straub enthuses. "They were there for you through the whole thing, helped you with promoting it, helping you on day-to-day business. I can't speak enough for how well they did." The partnership didn't just facilitate a business closing; it created a celebratory finale to decades of service while allowing Straub to confidently step into his well-earned retirement.
