Review of Kendra Scott Demi Fine Engraved Charm Necklace and Chain in 18k Gold Vermeil
I’m a huge Kendra Scott fan and after a couple years of owning a few accessory pieces, I decided to take the dive into a demi-fine engraved necklace from Kendra Scott. The one pictured here is the Davis Cross, and it’s engraved with a three initial monogram of my initials KDM…and these pictures were taken after a year of wear. I’ve now owned the Kendra Scott Davis Cross demi-fine engraved necklace charm for over 2 years, and I wear it at least every other day. It’s held up REMARKABLY!
I purchased this Kendra Scott necklace when I visited Austin and went to the Kendra Scott Flagship store at 1701 South Congress Avenue, Austin, TX. It’s a beautiful store, and the customer service was superb. This was my first trip after being super good for two years with not traveling for covid, and I was so excited to leave the San Francisco Bay Area (as much as I love SF and Berkeley). Kendra Scott is founded in Austin, TX and I highly recommend popping in if you visit.
I initially visited the Kendra Scott store in Austin for a coin necklace as I’ve seen everyone wearing them and layering them to spruce up their t-shirt and jeans. Casual is the new dressed up, so I’m down for a little necklace to make some magic happen. The Kendra Scott Davis Cross demi-fine engraved necklace charm is similar to the coin style, but with a little more polish and professionalism. I got it engraved with my three initials, aka, a Monogram. It came out so sleek. In the store, you can watch the monogram machine do its thang. Don’t worry. If you order the Kendra Scott Davis Cross demi-fine engraved necklace online, you can still get it engraved or monogramed and it’ll come in the mail delivered to you just the way you want!
What about the Kendra Scott Necklace Chain?
To match my Kendra Scott necklace charm, I purchased the Kendra Scott 18’ Thin Chain in 18k Rose Gold Vermeil. Dainty and has a nice delicate sparkle. A classic chain style that can be worn right below by collar bone, or at the base of my cleavage when I’m feeling “cheeky”. The clasp is VERY easy to put on myself daily. Way better than the classic round style. Sturdy, easy to grasp, and so so easy to pull the lever down and to loop through the hole. I say this as a woman that has a horrible Rx for glasses and contacts. I’m also very good at taking the necklace off for the shower and exercise since it is vermeil and not solid gold and I want it to retain its sparkle.
On that note…
What is Kendra Scott Vermeil?
Vermeil should be the same everywhere, but may vary slightly. Kendra Scott vermeil is sterling silver plated in gold or rose gold. Vermeil is a plating process intended to be thicker than a simple plating process, allowing for a slight more wear. It’s still a plating process and the gold can wear off, but the under exposure will be silver instead of a cheaper metal. This is what I love about Kendra Scott so much! Fashionable jewelry that’s intended for longer wear, and it’s price accessible.
The Kendra Scott Davis Cross demi-fine engraved necklace along with the Kendra Scott 18’ Thin Chain in 18k Rose Gold Vermeil necklace chain did cost around $200, so it wasn’t “cheap”. I’ll be able to wear this for a very long time though..
If this Kendra Scott 18’ Thin Chain in 18k Rose Gold Vermeil and the Kendra Scott Davis Cross demi-fine engraved necklace are just out of your budget, there are some wonderful pieces at a much more accessible price. Just keep in mind, they won’t last as long. If you’re looking for some really funky pieces that are very economically priced, BaubleBar is always a great place to go. I still hit up BaubleBar for some funky pieces that I know I’ll only wear 10-15 times, but Kendra Scott is where you go for the stylish yet sturdier pieces without going to fine jewelry.
Before I found Kendra Scott, my go to high end accessory jewelry has always been Nashelle, from the Bend, Oregon area. I’m still a huge fan of Nashelle and she makes a slightly more earthier style jewelry, but with a similar quality to Kendra Scott. Nashelle is a company that gives back too, and over 1 Million meals have been given by Nashelle to people in need. My husband has learned that when in doubt, gift me Nashelle anything.
Above are two pictures of me wearing the Kendra Scott Davis Cross demi-fine engraved necklace and the demi-fine Kendra Scott 18’ Thin Chain in 18k Rose Gold Vermeil. I’m also wearing Kendra Scott earrings in the picture on the right. Details and more pictures below on those earrings. My charm is also Rose Gold.
