EXCLUSIVE: Dolly Parton’s Stunning Jewelry Collection Is Here — Limited Quantities Available, Act Fast Before They’re Gone!

Dolly Parton and Kendra Scott’s Jewelry Collab Features a Nod to One of the Singer’s Most Iconic Songs (Exclusive)

A Dolly Parton and Kendra Scott collaboration is a match made in creative heaven, and it’s finally here! The two powerhouses have come together to launch a limited-edition 10-piece jewelry collection, marking a milestone for both the iconic country star and the renowned jewelry designer.

The journey of this collaboration began in 2022, when Kendra Scott had the chance to meet Dolly Parton backstage at one of Parton’s concerts in Austin, Texas. Their instant connection sparked a unique partnership that has now evolved into something truly special. “We just clicked,” Scott shared with PEOPLE, adding that Dolly had already been aware of her jewelry brand, founded in 2002, and it didn’t take long before they were discussing the possibility of working together. “The next thing I knew, we were like, ‘Let’s go into business together. What do you think?’”

Parton, known for her southern charm and iconic twang, chimed in over Zoom with a smile, saying, “And that was one of the best ideas that we’ve had in a long time.” And just like that, the collaboration was born.

The Significance of the Butterfly

This multi-year collaboration is particularly meaningful because it celebrates the 50th anniversary of Dolly Parton’s beloved song “Love Is Like a Butterfly,” which was released in 1974—the same year Kendra Scott was born. The butterfly, a key symbol in Parton’s career, was chosen as the central motif for the collection. As Scott explains, the butterfly represents “so much to both of us” and carries a powerful message of transformation. “They’re these beautiful, colorful, amazing creatures that really all they do is bring joy to the world,” Scott says. “I know for us, we both felt like that’s what we wanted to do, and we couldn’t think of a better song to put this collection together with.”

The collaboration’s theme of transformation and joy is embodied perfectly in each piece, reflecting both Dolly’s enduring artistic influence and Kendra’s commitment to creating jewelry that empowers the wearer. The collection is designed to capture the feminine strength and beauty that Dolly represents, with pieces that are elegant, playful, and full of personal significance.

The 1974 Necklace and Other Iconic Pieces

Among the 10 unique designs that make up the collection, one standout piece is the Dolly Parton x Kendra Scott 1974 Necklace, a special design with only 1,974 necklaces created, in honor of the song’s anniversary. The necklace features signature Kendra Scott silhouettes and iconic gemstones, offering a delicate tribute to Parton’s legacy and the powerful symbolism of the butterfly.

Fans might expect the pieces to be bold and colorful, inspired by Parton’s vibrant, larger-than-life style. However, Scott was drawn to exploring a softer, more feminine side of Dolly in this collection. “When I was designing this collection, it just felt so feminine… you think of pink. You think of those soft colors. You think of the butterfly fluttering in your heart, [which is] why we have the music note heart,” Scott says, describing the design elements. “All those things kind of went together in the designs.”

Dolly herself is quick to mention that Scott has captured a side of her personality that isn’t always seen. “What she saw is a tasteful side of me and then applied what she knows and how she does her jewelry,” Parton says. “But Lord knows what we might do next.”

The next collection may channel more of Dolly’s signature “gaud”, as the two hinted, referencing her iconic, extravagant style. As Parton herself says, “I naturally always wanted to be more than I was. I just had an inner thing that wanted to do more on the outside.” This sentiment is evident in the colorful, statement pieces that may come in future collections, staying true to Parton’s bold artistic expression.

Empowering Women Through Jewelry

This collaboration isn’t just about fashion—it’s about empowering women. Both Dolly Parton and Kendra Scott are known for their impact on the world beyond just their crafts. Dolly’s philanthropy, especially through initiatives like the Imagination Library, and Kendra Scott’s commitment to social causes like empowering women and supporting children, align beautifully in this collection.

“I think so many women across the world admire her,” Scott says of Parton. “And they admire her not just for the beautiful music that she writes, but for the person that she is. She has transformed herself over and over throughout her life. She transforms communities. She transforms people’s lives. And so we hope that when you wear this, you find that inner Dolly, that inner confidence, and that this jewelry makes you not just look good, but it makes you feel good.”

The collection is a celebration of Dolly’s legacy as both a musician and a role model. As Scott beautifully sums it up, “When you wear this jewelry, we hope it empowers you, just like Dolly’s music and message empowers us all.”
