Surely your bracelets, earrings, and necklace display stands have a place in the site.

When in doubt, go vertical

Vertical photos are most likely to be pinned on the site. They also get more screen space and with the right framing, it also allows more areas for customization, like in this graphic we found on Pinterest. Always remember that when you’re taking photos of your jewelry merchandise.

When posting your product photos, make sure you’re pinning them from their actual product pages. That way your pins link bank to these pages and people who see your pins can directly go from Pinterest to the actual product pages and place orders.

Build a community around your account

You’re not expected to just post content that’s composed only of your products. That would be boring. Instead, try to find fellow brands and jewelers accounts and pin their posts as well. After all, building connections is part of expanding your business, so follow accounts that catch your eye.

In fact, following similar accounts has a lot of benefits. You could see what other creators are doing and take inspiration from their works. Outside of the site, it could likewise lead to building relationships with investors and collaborators. Following and supporting other accounts also exposes you to more potential customers.
