The Smart Lab: Maximizing Your Jewelry Brand on Pinterest
Pinterest is a potential gold mine for jewelry brands, Emmanuel Raheb writes, provided they follow these five tips.

As a visual search engine, Pinterest is a gold mine for jewelry brands that want to get noticed, capture new customers and grow their sales.
With its rich, image-focused interface, Pinterest serves not only as just another digital platform, but also a place where many people start their shopping journey by getting ideas and saving their favorite jewelry styles.
By fine-tuning your strategy, you can transform your digital marketing to capture the customer’s eye as well as their imagination.
Here are five ways to improve and grow your Pinterest channel.
1. Fine-Tune Your Profile for Maximum Impact
Make sure your Pinterest profile is optimized for discovery and engagement.
Use a high-quality logo with the dimensions of 165 x 165 pixels.
When uploading your logo, it’s important to ensure the image remains clear and recognizable even at this relatively small size, as it’s displayed on your profile page and might appear even smaller in other sections of the platform, such as comments or pins.
Remember, Pinterest displays your profile picture as a circle, so make sure nothing is cut off within the circular crop.
Also, your page description should be keyword-optimized and packed with search terms such as “luxury jewelry” or “custom engagement rings” to improve your SEO and draw in the right audience.
Always be sure include your website’s link near the top of your description (before the cutoff) to make it easy for customers so they don’t have to search.
2. Create Pins That Captivate and Convert
Your pins should not only capture attention but also drive action.
Use high-quality, professional photos that highlight the unique details of your jewelry, like close-ups on the intricate setting of a diamond ring or adding extra light to enhance the vibrant color of gemstone earrings.
With each image, include compelling descriptions and clear calls to action, such as “Explore Our Collection” or “Discover Your Favorite Style.”
This approach not only draws attention, but also piques curiosity and encourages pinners to engage with you. Make every pin share-worthy.

This approach not only draws attention, but also piques curiosity and encourages pinners to engage with you. Make every pin share-worthy.
3. Implement Rich Pins to Increase Conversions
Rich pins are invaluable because they automatically update your pins with information from your website, such as product descriptions, price changes or product availability.
Whenever you make a change, Pinterest changes.
For example, if you’re selling an exclusive diamond bracelet and it goes on sale, the rich pin will update this information in real time, ensuring your potential customers can make a buying decision immediately and have the most current data without ever leaving Pinterest.
Go from channel to check-out in just one click.
4. Diversify Your Boards to Capture Different Customers
Segment your Pinterest boards to cater to various customer preferences and upcoming occasions.
For example, create boards such as “Engagement Ring Ideas,” “Jewelry Gifts For Valentine’s Day” or “Trending Styles.”
Each board should target a different demographic or style preference, like a board dedicated to
“Sustainable Jewelry” featuring “eco-friendly” pieces that attract environmentally conscious consumers.
The possibilities are endless depending on how creative you are and how deep you want to go.
This strategy organizes your jewelry by theme and showcases the diversity of your merchandise, appealing to many different types of customers.
5. Leverage Pinterest Ads to Reach New Audiences
Take full advantage of Pinterest’s advertising capabilities to ensure your most compelling pins reach beyond your current followers.
Targeting options allow you to refine who sees your ads based on their interests, search behaviors, and previous interactions with your page.
For example, if you’re promoting a Mother’s Day jewelry collection, you can use Pinterest ads to target users who are searching for Mother’s Day gifts, engaging with similar content, or have previously shown interest in related styles.
This targeted approach puts your pins directly in front of people who are most likely to purchase and turbocharges your reach.
In summary, treat Pinterest as your stage and make sure every pin spotlights the uniqueness and beauty of your jewelry brand. You have the potential to capture a global audience, turning aspirational browsing into actual sales.
With the right marketing strategy in place, you’re only one good pin away from your next customer.
