How Kendra Scott's virtual try-on works

Kendra Scott introduced live AR try-on for earrings on its website, powered by Mirelz MirrAR technology. Shoppers can activate their camera directly on a product page and see Kendra Scott earrings overlaid on their own face in real time, no app required.

The earrings track the shopper's head movement and adjust for lighting, giving a realistic sense of how a pair sits and how it complements the wearer. The tool launched as an earrings-first feature, precisely because face placement is the hardest thing for a shopper to judge from a product flat.

The catch: it is a managed AR integration for a single brand

Kendra Scott's experience is built on a dedicated Mirelz MirrAR integration and tuned to Kendra Scott's own product catalog. Each earring style requires a 3D model, and the AR platform is configured per-brand, which means an independent jeweler cannot simply copy the setup.

The result, showing a shopper how an earring or other piece sits on their own body, is what every jeweler wants online. A managed widget delivers that without requiring a per-product 3D pipeline.

How to add the same try-on to your store

A hosted try-on widget brings the photo-in, worn-result-out experience to your own jewelry product pages, on the web, with no app and no code. Photta installs as a single tag:

The shopper taps 'Try it on', uploads a photo, and sees earrings on their face, a necklace at their neckline, or a ring on their hand right in the browser. It covers jewelry and apparel, runs in 29 languages, deletes the shopper's photo after processing, and you manage and brand it from a dashboard.

Why it pays off for a jewelry store

Jewelry is high-consideration and high-AOV. Earrings in particular are driven almost entirely by how they look on the wearer's face, a judgment a flat product photo cannot support. Shoppers who can see a piece on themselves convert at materially higher rates and return far less.

For fashion jewelry stores, adding on-body try-on directly on a product page shortens the consideration cycle and removes the main reason a browser walks away without buying.
