Quality
Kendra Scott plates the Elisa chain and setting in 14k gold over brass and sets a genuine or simulated stone by hand. Finish work is clean and the pendant sits flat. It is fashion jewelry, not fine jewelry, but the construction is a clear step above fast fashion pieces at a third of the price.
Value
At $70 it costs less than a nice dinner and delivers the look of a much pricier pendant. Frequent sales and the mini version at $55 make it even easier. For a gift or a first good necklace, the value is excellent.
Who Should Buy It
Buy it if you want a pretty everyday pendant or a foolproof gift for someone who loves jewelry.
Who Should Skip It
Skip it if you need waterproof or solid gold jewelry for daily wear.
FINAL VERDICT
The Elisa earns bestseller status: pretty, versatile and gift ready at a friendly price. Treat the plating kindly and it will shine for years.
