Kendra Scott

In 2002, with just $500, Kendra Scott launched a small jewelry collection. Today, Kendra Scott Jewelry is a global multimillion-dollar label with collections sold at top retailers including Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Lord & Taylor; more than a thousand specialty boutiques worldwide; and seven stand-alone boutiques across the country, with plans to open additional locations.

Scott's unique designs are featured in premier fashion and lifestyle magazines as well as a wide range of top broadcast and online outlets. Celebrity fans include Sofia Vergara, Eva Longoria, Molly Sims, Cameron Diaz, Hilary Duff and Brooklyn Decker.

As the Kendra Scott brand continues to expand, she remains committed to the company's founding philosophies, "Family, Fashion & Philanthropy." The Austin Business Journal recently named Kendra Scott Jewelry the fastest-growing company and "Best Places to Work." Scott was just named Austinite of the Year and awarded the 2013 "Austin Under 40" Business and Entrepreneurship Award.
