HOW TO WRITE A GREAT JEWELRY DESCRIPTION

Writing a good Jewelry Description is not as easy as it sounds.

You’ll find this out when you’re trying to Sell your Jewelry on Ebay, or making fliers and ads to post it inside grocery stores.

Great Jewelry Descriptions will either make your sale, or break it!

So how do you write a Good Description of your Jewelry so you can sell it?

What’s the secret to making it sound great?

I’ll tell you: Details & Adjectives!

Lots of Great Details and wonderful image provoking Adjectives! That my friend, is the goal today!

To write a Good Description, you must first learn as much as you can about your Jewelry. Say for example, you have a Ruby Ring that you want to sell. Listing it as a “Ruby Ring” does no good! In fact, it won’t even get it noticed. Bland little Descriptions will not sell a thing. You might as well not even try!

Here’s what I Recommend…

Take a visit to your local Jeweler and get some feedback and info from them. Pick their brains! You’re going to need to learn all about the actual Stones and Diamonds. What sizes are they? Carat Weights? Quality? What type of Metal is it? How much would an item like this normally sell for?

Things like that will help give you the information needed to Write a Good Description. (If not, ask them if they’d be so kind as to Write out a Description for you!) You’ll need to get mm Sizes of the Stones and Mounting as well. Detailed, Accurate Information will add to the Authenticity that your Description deserves!

Do you Have an Appraisal?

If you already have a Jewelry Appraisal (Or Certificate!) with your Jewelry, Great! Use it!

Those normally contain enough information to sell your merchandise. Appraisals should give you the Quality of the Diamonds like Cut, Clarity, Color and Carat Weight. That is vital info for Diamonds!

Sometimes they’ll list it as CW, CTW, DW, DTW, TW, or TCW. (Carat Weight, Carat Total Weight, Diamond Weight, Diamond Total Weight, Total Weight, or Total Carat Weight.) Those basically are saying that the Carat Weight is either the Carat Weight of one stone, or all the stones put together as one!

Get it Cleaned and Polished!

While you’re there at the Jewelry Store, make sure you get your Jewelry Professionally Cleaned and Polished! This is a must! No one wants to buy dirty Rings! Clean them before you sell them.

Plus getting them cleaned and looking brand new again, will make them look bigger, brighter, and Better in the Photos you take of them. You’ll need a great picture to post with your description in order to sell. Dirty ones look like crap! Dirty Jewelry will not sell!

Now finally we get to the Jewelry Descriptions

I’ve gathered together 10 pieces of Jewelry to use as examples for you. By reading the Descriptions and looking at the rings and items, you’ll get a much better feel for making a Good Description. A Description is basically just describing the item from head to toe. Adding in Great Adjectives like, Beautiful, Stunning, Fabulous, Lustrous, Exquisite, Incredible and Awesome, will bring your Jewelry to life! It’ll make them sound like a million bucks!

So you see, it’s not so hard once you get the swing of it. These examples should provide you enough information to tear apart your merchandise and write your own descriptive ads. It’s amazing how good you can make an item sound. I’m not suggesting that you build up the item better than it is, just be honest and open.

If the item is Chipped, say so.

If a Prong is Broken, tell them.

But whatever you do, don’t Dwell on the Negatives. State it, and move on. Push the great assets of your item and make sure to talk up the Beauty and Sparkle!

Descriptive Words can Sell the Sizzle!

Fun words like: Exciting, Stunning, Beautiful, Rich, Brilliant, Fabulous, Elegant, Lustrous, Magnificent and Impressive! Powerful Words provoke great visuals and tend to go hand in hand with describing Jewelry, Diamonds and Gold!
