ONE OF HOUSTON'S favorite jewelry makers is for the first time creating pieces for men, and she says her sons inspired her to do it.


Kendra Scott, who went to high school in Houston before decamping to Texas A&M for school and eventually landing in Austin, on Friday announced the introduction of her new Scott Bros. Collection of men's and gender-neutral designs. Per a news release, it's "filled with a mix of styles made of genuine stones, leather cord, paracord, and vinyl beads."

In keeping with Scott's noted philanthropic mission, proceeds from sales of the Cade Suite of the collection will benefit the Peyton Manning Children's Hospital Art Therapy program. In the last 10 years, the company says it has contributed more than $40 million to local, national and global nonprofits.

"I've been a jewelry designer as long as I've been a mom," says Scott, executive chairwoman of the brand and mother of three sons. "As my boys have grown, so has this business. That's why I'm thrilled to introduce Scott Bros. by Kendra Scott, designed in collaboration with my sons to be fun fashion that anyone can wear."

Kendra Scott has 100 boutiques all over the country, including multiple locations in Houston, and is also available at luxury department stores such as Neiman Marcus.

Leadership in Action: John Kuykendall Traded Newcaster Dream for Success in Luxury Retail

John Kuykendall, Showroom Manager, Sub-Zero, Wolf and Cove

How did you get to where you are today? Growing up I had envisioned myself as a news anchor, living in NY and enthusiastically saying into the camera “Good Morning America!”. To this day, I am still a news/political junkie. My mother owned fur salons so specialty retail, luxury retail was in my blood through the family business. Eventually, mom shuttered the stores and I was recruited to a large specialty retailer. Over the next 30 years, I was in commissioned sales on the sales floor, became a department manager, worked my way up to buyer and store manager. Although I never became a newscaster, I did live in NYC for a few years. But Texas is home and with aging grandparents, I felt the pull to come back to my roots. A headhunter approached me. I never envisioned myself in the high-end appliance market, but there are so many similarities. Clients want a memorable experience; whether shopping for diamonds and fur or remodeling their kitchen.
