Marketing Strategy That Works: How Jewellery Brands Are Winning in 2025

The jewellery industry is more competitive than ever. Consumers have endless choices, and standing out requires more than just a beautiful product, it takes smart marketing, strong storytelling, and a brand that knows its audience inside out.

At Scoop International Fashion Show in London, we spoke to top jewellery designers about what’s really working in marketing right now. From high-impact social media strategies to real-life brand experiences, here’s what successful jewellery brands are doing differently in 2025.

1. Selective Influencer Partnerships Over Mass Collaborations

Jewellery brands have learned that throwing free products at influencers and hoping for sales is a waste of time and budget. Instead, targeted ambassador programs with handpicked influencers are proving to be far more effective.

“They’ve just kind of targeted their ambassadors – people who genuinely love the pieces. Instead of paying hundreds of influencers, we work with 10 really strong profiles that carry that passion to their followers.” – Caroline Svedbom

What’s working?

Marketing takeaway:
If your brand is still chasing random influencers with big follower counts, stop now. Instead, build a solid core of brand-aligned ambassadors who naturally fit your jewelry and audience.

2. User-Generated Content (UGC) & Raw Authenticity

The polished, overproduced ads are losing their edge in 2025. Consumers now trust real people wearing real jewellery in real situations. That’s why brands are shifting towards UGC (user-generated content) and raw, behind-the-scenes storytelling.

“We rely heavily on user-generated content – our customers love showing how they wear their jewellery, and that kind of social proof is priceless.” – Formation Co.

What’s working?

Marketing takeaway:
Encourage your buyers to create and share content by making them feel part of your brand. Run UGC challenges, repost their styling ideas, and showcase real people over models.

3. The Power of In-Person Brand Experiences

Jewellery is tactile, people want to see, touch, and feel it before they buy. That’s why pop-up shops, exclusive events, and in-person experiences are becoming a critical marketing tool in 2025.

“We’ve hosted intimate events where customers can experience the jewellery in a social setting. It’s all about creating moments that people remember.” – Love Letter

What’s working?

Marketing takeaway:
Even if you’re an online-only brand, consider limited-time physical experiences. Host a pop-up, a styling event, a luxury gifting suite, or anything that makes your brand real beyond the screen.

4. Omnichannel Marketing – Beyond Instagram & TikTok

While social media is still essential, successful brands aren’t relying on just one or two platforms, they’re building an omnichannel marketing strategy.

“Our customers don’t just find us on Instagram. They might first see us in a boutique, then Google us, then see us again in a magazine or an influencer’s post. It’s about being present everywhere.” – Talis Chains

What’s working?

Marketing takeaway:
Don’t put all your energy into one social media platform. Build a 360-degree brand presence that includes SEO, influencer marketing, PR, and multi-channel advertising.

5. Ethical Jewellery & Transparency as a Marketing Hook

Sustainability in the jewellery industry is no longer a choice, it’s a necessity. Every brand we spoke to at Scoop International has used ethical sourcing and sustainable practices as a core part of their business.

“I am very proud to say that this collection has got Fairmined certification, which is not very easy to achieve. All the silver and gold used in this collection come from mines that have been checked, verified, and ensure fair wages for workers.” – Assya London

What’s working?

Marketing takeaway:
If your brand prioritises ethical practices, make sure customers know about them. Show them where your materials come from, how you minimise waste, and why your brand is different.
