Here at Good Housekeeping, we know finding a gift that teenagers actually want can feel nearly impossible. But after scouring TikTok wish lists and listening to feedback from our own nieces, cousins and daughters, our team of shopping editors have concluded that Kendra Scott necklaces are one of the hottest gifts for tween and teen girls right now — and they're available on Amazon.

A favorite among sorority sisters and celebrities alike, Kendra Scott is known for its colorful, gemstone-accented jewelry infused with plenty of Southern charm. The Texas-based brand has been spotted on everyone from Taylor Swift to Simone Biles and even TikTok stars like Dixie D'Amelio.
And since most of its best-selling baubles range from $40 to $90, you won't need to break the bank to appease your picky teen. Plus, you get free shipping if you're an Amazon Prime member. Compare that to shopping directly on Kendra Scott's website, where you have to pay $5.95 on orders under $75. (Hack: Sometimes we even see these necklaces go on sale on Amazon. We last spotted a 20% discount on select necklaces in early fall 2024).
The brand's most recognizable design is the Elisa necklace, featuring a geometric pendant on a delicate metal chain. This 14k gold-plated style comes in a rainbow of different colors and materials, including semi-precious gems like amethyst and opal, so you can shop it in your teen's favorite color or birthstone. It's also available in a dainty mini version for under $50.
Over 13,000 Amazon shoppers have given the Elisa necklace a five-star rating, citing its popularity among teens and impressive quality: "My daughter requested this Kendra Scott necklace and explained that it's very trendy and everyone's wearing them at school," said one five-star reviewer. "She wears this necklace more often than any others, and she is right — everyone at her school is wearing them. It seems to be pretty high quality and [there are] no weird metal smells or green coloring left on her skin from the chain."
I remember Kendra Scott necklaces being a huge deal when I was in middle school, so I'm not surprised to see them making a comeback. But if you're looking for an alternative to the Elisa, I spotted a trendy stack of layered chains and a timeless gold-plated initial pendant on the brand's Amazon storefront.
Want more Kendra Scott gift ideas? There are dozens more styles to choose from, like the adjustable Elaina bracelet and Lee drop earrings with the same hexagonal shape as the Elisa necklace. And if you're shopping for younger tweens, the Ari heart huggies are a darling choice for smaller ears thanks to their lightweight shape.
