Jewelry is a staple in almost everyone’s everyday outfit. Chunky necklaces, flashy rings, and charm bracelets help elevate one’s style. From gold to silver, there are many brands that someone can purchase from, but there are two that have become very popular: Pandora and Kendra Scott. Yet there is still a lingering debate on which jewelry brand is the favorite. Is it the new Kendra Scott, or is it the original, Pandora?
Kendra Scott- Jocelyn Roldan
As someone who owns jewelry from both industries, I always find myself leaning towards wearing my necklace from Kendra Scott. Even though I always wear silver, the options they have for it make me want to buy their jewelry instantly. Not only do they have their unique gem design, but they also have necklaces for nearly every sport.
All of their necklaces for sports are beautiful, and any sport-lover would love to have them in their jewelry box. I have had many volleyball necklaces given to me by other friends, but after seeing their new release and making a volleyball necklace, my mom and I bought them for ourselves instantly. While she has it in gold, and I have it in silver, no option is prettier than the other. The necklaces have become our go-to for any occasion.
Even when you go to the physical store, they have the option of building a necklace there if the gem someone wants isn’t available in a certain metal. When I was there for the first time, I was disappointed that they didn’t have the gem I wanted, until an employee walked up to me and said, “We can make that for you.” With certain necklaces, they have gems in the back to make their shopper’s desired necklace in a matter of seconds. One necklace, the Elisa, is one that they can make with any chain and gem that the shopper wants, it’s truly like making your dream necklace.
Even if I still wear Pandora’s jewelry occasionally, whenever I’m looking at my necklaces and bracelets to wear for the day, I will always pick up the necklaces I own from Kendra Scott. The new and rising popularity of their jewelry is worth all the positive reviews it’s receiving, and I will remain on Kendra Scott’s side for a long time.
Pandora- Caitlin Capiro
The choice is simple, Pandora jewelry is superior to Kendra Scott. When you choose Pandora, there are endless options to choose from. From earrings and rings to bracelets and necklaces, there is nothing that Pandora doesn’t have.
Pandora is known for its many staple items such as the famous charm bracelet. There are various outlets of design that you can take when you purchase a charm bracelet. It comes with a starting charm, and a metal snake chain, that you can progressively add a variety of charms to. From Disney princesses and aquatic animals to graduation announcements and memorial pieces, there’s a vast assortment of options.
It is simply up to the buyer to design their bracelet how they desire. It’s a blank canvas, ready for its artist to fill it with personality and character. Alongside their customizable nature, it eliminates the fear of purchasing a bracelet that you will grow to not like. If you begin to get bored or you don’t like any of your charms anymore, you can simply purchase more and replace the old ones.
For nearly 30 years, Pandora has been ruling the Jewelry industry, alongside other big companies such as Tiffany & CO, and Cartier. Kendra Scott only entered the market due to a TikTok trend created by teenagers. Meanwhile, Pandora has its name well-known for several different demographics and age ranges. Pieces created by this company are essentially timeless and are evident to have never gone out of style.
The durability of these items is also very fascinating. When I turned ten years old, my mother gave me a necklace from Pandora, as a present. This dainty, heart-shaped necklace has been with me through almost every activity. Through swimming, running, and even six years of life, it remains along my side to this day.
When deciding which brand of jewelry you want to last by your side forever, Pandora is a definite must.
