My New Go-To Sparkle: Kendra Scott Elisa Pendant Necklace Review
Okay, confession time. I’ve been eyeing Kendra Scott for ages, mostly seeing it on friends and thinking, "That little pendant looks so classy, but is it really worth the splurge?" So, when I saw this Elisa Pendant Necklace on Amazon for a surprisingly decent $47.99, I figured it was my chance to find out without completely breaking the bank. I was hoping for something delicate enough for everyday wear but with enough pizzazz to dress up a t-shirt.
Unboxing and First Impressions
It arrived in a standard Amazon box, but inside, the Kendra Scott packaging was actually quite nice. A little jewelry box, felt soft and presented the necklace well. Pulling it out, the first thing I noticed was the weight – it’s surprisingly substantial for its size, not at all flimsy. The 14k gold plating has a lovely warm sheen, and the pendant itself felt smooth and well-finished. It’s definitely smaller than I pictured, but in a good way – more understated and elegant. No surprises here, just solid craftsmanship.
My Real-Life Wear Test
I’ve been wearing this necklace almost constantly for the past two weeks. It’s become my default accessory. It sits perfectly on my collarbone, not too high or too low. The chain feels sturdy, and I haven’t had any issues with it tangling (a major win for me!). I’ve worn it with everything from my work blouses to my weekend hoodies, and it genuinely elevates every outfit. It doesn’t feel heavy or annoying, and I’ve even slept in it a couple of times without noticing. My only minor quibble is that the clasp can be a tiny bit fiddly to do up with one hand, but it’s a small price to pay for the overall convenience. It looks just as good as I hoped, maybe even a little better in person.
What Other Buyers Are Saying
Looking at other reviews, shipping is usually pretty quick, which was true for me too. A lot of people mention how versatile it is, just like I’ve found. The color descriptions can sometimes be a little off, so it's worth reading a few reviews if you're set on a specific stone color. But generally, people are super happy with the quality for the price.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Elegant design, good quality plating, versatile for any outfit, comfortable to wear daily.
- Cons: Clasp can be a bit tricky for one-handed fastening.
