Austin, Texas—Kendra Scott has collaborated with Dolly Parton for a new limited-edition collection honoring the philanthropic star and her 1974 song, “Love is Like a Butterfly.”

The “Dolly Parton x Kendra Scott” collection celebrates a lifetime of inspiration as this is the 50th anniversary of Parton’s song, which shares a birth year with Scott.

It was created to capture the themes of love, joy, and self-expression at the heart of Parton’s legacy, said the brand, as the pieces evoke nostalgia and ignite self-expression.

Dolly Parton and Kendra Scott share a milestone this year as Parton’s 1974 song “Love is Like a Butterfly” reaches its 50th anniversary and Scott celebrates her 50th birthday, which shares the same year as the release of Parton’s song.


Scott, the founder and chief creative officer of her eponymous brand, explained that Parton is her personal icon and her blueprint—a true role model in life, work, giving back, and an endless creative butterfly.

“Before I ever met Kendra, I was aware of her reputation as a self-made woman, her kind heart, and of course, her wonderful jewelry line,” said Parton.

“I was honored to learn she was a fan of mine and even more honored when she asked me if I wanted to partner on a jewelry collection based on my song ‘Love is Like a Butterfly.’ Naturally, I said yes. The more I get to know Kendra, the more I love her. She’s the real deal, beautiful inside and out. I hope you enjoy our collection as much as we’ve enjoyed each other while putting it together for you.”


The collection combined Parton’s larger-than-life style with Scott’s gemstones and silhouettes to create 12 styles filled with butterfly and music note motifs.

Drusy or ivory mother-of-pearl set in 14-karat yellow gold or silver over brass are seen across the pieces.

Dolly and Scott both own the “Dolly Parton x Kendra Scott 1974 Butterfly” necklace. Exactly 1,974 pieces were made, with Dolly owning No. 1 and Scott owning No. 1,974.


A standout of the collection is the “Dolly Parton x Kendra Scott 1974 Butterfly” necklace, also inspired by Parton’s song.

“Love is Like a Butterfly” became Parton’s fourth No. 1 single on the U.S. country music chart when it released in 1974, according to the Dolly Parton website.

Exactly 1,974 necklaces of this style were created, with Dolly owning No. 1 and Scott owning No. 1,974.


Together, they created a collection reflecting the journey of two visionary women who share a passion for connection and authenticity, said the brand.

“It’s hard to put into words what Dolly Parton means to me. She’s the ultimate role model: a prime example of staying true to yourself, believing in the power of art and creativity, and giving back along the way,” said Scott.

“I’ve admired and looked up to Dolly my whole life, and working with her has truly been a full circle, pinch-me moment. I’ve looked up to her—as so many of us can and do—for inspiration, humor, and kindness. This collection captures that beautifully and I’m so proud for fans to explore a jewelry collection that can live up to the absolutely singular Dolly Parton.”
