Get Rodeo Ready with Kendra Scott's Ranch-Inspired Collection — and Brand-New 'Hat Bar'!

THE 2023 HOUSTON Livestock Show and Rodeo is almost here, and local-fave jewelry designer Kendra Scott is launching her latest capsule collection with rodeo-goers in mind.


The Yellow Rose by Kendra Scott line is available exclusively online and at rodeos state-wide, including the ones in Austin, Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio. "Inspired by the time spent on our family ranch, this collection honors the state I call home and puts the modern cowgirl front and center — right where she belongs," said the Austin-based designer in a statement.

Incorporating traditional Southwest designs, textures and materials — howdy, turquoise! — the Yellow Rose pieces also seamlessly blend the bright, colorful style and versatility that the brand is known for. For example, two of the brand’s best-selling stones are combined in the Bronze Veined Turquoise Magnesite Red Oyster ring, reminiscent of a Southwestern sunset.

The 56-piece collection includes the all-new Beau suite — featuring a hand-sketched and sculpted silhouette of Scott’s horse, Beau — and heritage Kendra Scott pieces in new vintage gold and silver metals, plus a curated collection of artisan jewelry available exclusively in-person at the Houston Rodeo. Prices range from $60 to $298, with Rodeo-exclusive jewelry ranging from $98 to $5500.

And, in true Kendra Scott fashion, the brand is bringing the customer experience to life with a play on Kendra Scott’s iconic Color Bar: hat customization! Rodeo attendees can personalize GIGI PIP hats with a broad offering of hat bands, pins, feathers and one-of-a-kind adornments. Hats start at $112, with customization accessories ranging from $2 to $48.

DINNER ON THE stage is always a special privilege for arts patrons — and the annual Houston Symphony Wine Dinner and Collector’s Auction, served on the stage of the Jesse H. Jones Hall for the Performing Arts, was arguably even more spectacular than usual. After all, in addition to the uniquely striking setting, Symphony supporters also were treated a multi-course meal by chef Aaron Bludorn, paired with wines chosen by John and Lindy Rydman and Lisa Rydman Lindsey of Spec’s Wines, Spirits & Finer Foods.

AS HOUSTON SLOWLY recovers from last week’s severe derecho, it is strangely serendipitous that on May 25 and 26, a little over a week after that unexpected drama, the Houston Symphony will perform composer John Adams’ critically acclaimed Nativity oratorio El Niño, named after the 1997 meteorological phenomenon and precursor to what we now refer to as “weird weather.”
