It’s a collection that still speaks to the Kendra Scott customer—approachable, warm, and sparkle-loving—but with a sleeker edge. For those used to her signature drusy stones and vibrant hues, the diamond edit offers something subtler: a timeless, everyday kind of luxury that doesn’t need to shout.
Styles offered: Necklaces, earrings, bracelets, rings, and watches
Price range: Pieces start at $25, with fine jewelry options reaching up to $8,995
Special services: Customizable jewelry through the Color Bar experience; lab-grown diamonds graded at or above H color and VS clarity, with stones 0.5 carat or higher certified by the International Gemological Institute.
Jennifer Fisher has always approached jewelry as deeply personal—and deeply powerful. The designer, known for redefining modern essentials with her signature hoops and dog tags, entered the lab-grown diamond space not to jump on a trend, but to offer something meaningful. “I have a mine-cut stone that is of significant size,” she told Vogue, “and I don’t know who, if anyone, was harmed mining it. That doesn’t feel great.”
Her lab-grown collection, launched in early 2023, is a sharp departure from the micro pavé-drenched engagement offerings flooding the market. Think pinky rings with major emerald cuts, simplified martini-set studs, and substantial tennis necklaces made to sit perfectly whether your hair is up or down. “I stopped wearing my engagement ring on my wedding finger three years ago,” Fisher explains. “Now I wear it on my pinky—and people literally stop me on the street.”
Designed in 18k gold, her pieces favor substantial, single-stone silhouettes over sparkle overload. “The market is already saturated with pavé,” she says. “People want one visually extraordinary stone—not a bunch of tiny ones shoved into a setting.”
Though she doesn’t plan to expand into traditional engagement rings, Fisher has found that women—particularly those buying for themselves—are gravitating toward her lab-grown pieces as milestone markers: for anniversaries, divorces, or just the joy of wearing a serious rock on any finger they please. “They’re not buying them to be subtle,” she says. “They’re buying them because they want a stone that feels bold, modern, and truly theirs.”
