We are delighted to welcome Kenda Kist Jewelry to Dovecote this Friday and Saturday for a special trunk show — featuring handmade pieces from one of North Carolina’s most beloved jewelry designers.
Kenda Kist is a woman-owned, artisan brand based in Raleigh, NC, founded and designed by Kenda Kistenmacher. Each piece is hand-crafted and hand-forged in the USA with meticulous attention to detail, using responsibly sourced gemstones and precious metals like sterling silver and 14K gold-filled materials. What makes the brand truly special is its blend of timeless design with a modern twist — jewelry that feels both classic and unmistakably personal.
Kenda’s background in metal design and her deep commitment to craftsmanship are evident in every piece — from delicate everyday earrings and pendants to statement necklaces and rings. The designs are lightweight, wearable, and incredibly versatile, perfect for gifting, celebrating milestones like Mother’s Day and graduations, or adding a meaningful piece to your own collection.
What makes this trunk show extra special is the chance to meet Kenda in person. She’ll be on hand with extended styles and selections you won’t normally find in store — including custom pieces and one-of-a-kind designs. It’s a rare opportunity to hear her inspiration, see her craftsmanship up close, and find something truly unique.
Join us at Dovecote this weekend — come meet the designer, explore beautiful jewelry crafted with heart and intention, and find the perfect piece to wear or gift. We look forward to seeing you!
