Perfect. This is exactly the right time to standardize — especially since you are cross-posting to Etsy, eBay, Pinterest, and eventually higher-end platforms (Ruby Lane, 1stDibs, etc.).
You do NOT want different formats per platform.
You want one MASTER Jewelry Listing Format that:
-
Converts (sales)
-
Indexes well (SEO)
-
Looks premium (House of Genevieve aesthetic)
-
Ports cleanly through Shopify → eBay → Etsy → Pinterest feeds
-
Works for fine + signed costume + vintage
Given how structured your book system already is, your jewelry needs the same discipline.
THE BEST CONVERTING VINTAGE JEWELRY LISTING (UNIVERSAL MASTER FORMAT)
This format is optimized for:
And yes — ONE uniform structure for:
-
Earrings
-
Rings
-
Bracelets
-
Necklaces
-
Watches
-
Brooches
-
Designer Costume
-
Fine Jewelry
1. MASTER SKU SYSTEM (Uniform & Scalable)
You already use structured SKUs for books — we mirror that logic.
Universal Jewelry SKU Format:
Type Codes:
-
ER = Earrings
-
NK = Necklace
-
BR = Bracelet
-
RG = Ring
-
BRCH = Brooch
-
WT = Watch
-
SET = Jewelry Set
Brand Codes (Examples):
-
TRF = Trifari
-
LIS = Lisner
-
SC = Sarah Coventry
-
HD = Heidi Daus
-
JH = John Hardy
-
UNS = Unsigned
Material Codes:
Era Codes:
Example SKU:
-
JWL-ER-TRF-RHN-MID-0021
-
JWL-RG-UNS-SS-VNT-0043
-
JWL-BR-HD-MIX-MOD-0012
This makes inventory sorting, metafields, and resale tracking extremely clean.
2. MASTER TITLE FORMULA (HIGH CONVERSION + SEO)
Universal Title Structure:
Example (High-End Costume):
Vintage Trifari Gold Tone Rhinestone Clip-On Earrings Mid Century Designer Statement Jewelry
Example (Fine Jewelry):
Vintage 14K Gold Sapphire Ring Estate Fine Jewelry Classic Elegant Size 7
Example (Unsigned Premium):
Vintage Rhinestone Statement Necklace Elegant Bridal Style High Quality Costume Jewelry
Why this works:
3. MASTER DESCRIPTION (SALES-FOCUSED + LUXURY TONE)
This is where 90% of sellers fail.
They write short, lazy descriptions.
You are building House of Genevieve — your description must feel curated, not flea market.
UNIVERSAL JEWELRY DESCRIPTION TEMPLATE (COPY/PASTE READY)
You will use this for EVERY piece.

4. PRICE STRATEGY (FOR MAX SALES + BRAND VALUE)
Based on your current inventory (Trifari, Lisner, Heidi Daus, etc.):
| Category |
Pricing Strategy |
| Unsigned High Quality Vintage |
$28–$65 |
| Signed Costume (Trifari, Lisner, SC) |
$45–$120 |
| Heidi Daus / Designer Costume |
$95–$225 |
| Fine Jewelry (Gold/Silver/Stone) |
Market-driven |

You are a curated vintage boutique.

5. META DESCRIPTION (Pinterest + Google + Etsy SEO)
Format:
Example:
Curated vintage Trifari rhinestone earrings. Elegant mid-century designer jewelry perfect for collectors, styling, or timeless gift giving.
6. MASTER TAG SYSTEM (HIGH TRAFFIC TAGS – COMMA FORMAT)
You will rotate based on item, but core structure stays consistent.
UNIVERSAL TAG STACK (Copy Base):

Then add item-specific:
-
trifari
-
lisner
-
heidi daus
-
gold tone earrings
-
rhinestone necklace
-
vintage bracelet
-
art deco jewelry
