We couldn’t think of a better collaboration if we tried; Kendra Scott and Dolly Parton have teamed up and released a gorgeous jewelry collection inspired by Parton’s classic hit, Love is Like a Butterfly. The pieces are nothing short of jaw-dropping (in the best way), with beautiful butterfly accents and statement-making designs. It’s truly the collab we never knew we needed, but now that we have it, we don’t know how we ever lived without it. Keep reading for the exclusive details on the Kendra Scott x Dolly Parton collection, including where to shop it, a look at the gorgeous pieces and the story behind the collaboration.
The story behind the Kendra Scott Dolly Parton Collection
The collaboration between Dolly Parton and Kendra Scott seems like it was a match made in Heaven. Both Dolly and Kendra have a focus on empowering women through their brands and work, in more ways than one. They each have a goal of making women feel more confident, whether that’s through Dolly’s ingenious song lyrics or Kendra’s gorgeous jewelry line. Bringing the two together creates a force to be reckoned with, and creating this jewelry collection was an undoubtedly perfect partnership.
Kendra Scott says she has a special connection to Dolly’s Love is Like a Butterfly, which inspired the partnership. The song came out in 1974, the year Kendra was born, and quickly became a huge hit and remains a classic.
“It’s hard to put into words what Dolly Parton means to me. She’s the ultimate role model: a prime example of staying true to yourself, believing in the power of art and creativity, and giving back along the way,” Scott, Founder & Chief Creative Officer, said in an official press release released by the brand. “I’ve admired and looked up to Dolly my whole life, and working with her has truly been a full circle, pinch-me moment. I’ve looked to her—as so many of us can and do—for inspiration, humor, and kindness. This collection captures that beautifully and I’m so proud for fans to explore a jewelry collection that can live up to the absolutely singular Dolly Parton.”
To symbolize the iconic year the song was released—the 50th anniversary of the song is this year—and the year Kendra was born, they made exactly 1,974 Dolly Parton x Kendra Scott 1974 Necklaces—meaning it’s limited edition, so get it while you still can!
Another reason why this partnership is so special is because both Dolly and Kendra are greatly involved in philanthropic work. Since 2010, Kendra Scott has donated over $65M to philanthropic organizations. Dolly has donated over 255 million books to children around the world with her Imagination Library. It’s safe to say they each have made a large impact in communities around the world.
“Before I ever met Kendra, I was aware of her reputation as a self-made woman, her kind heart and of course, her wonderful jewelry line. I was honored to learn she was a fan of mine and even more honored when she asked me if I wanted to partner on a jewelry collection based on my song Love Is Like A Butterfly. Naturally, I said yes,” says Parton. “The more I get to know Kendra, the more I love her. She’s the real deal, beautiful inside and out. I hope you enjoy our collection as much as we’ve enjoyed each other while putting it together for you.”
