These groups are vocabulary to adapt, not ranked recommendations or ready-made tag sets. Material, age, technique and customization words must match the item and supporting records.
Necklaces and pendants
Examples: chain necklace, pendant necklace, initial necklace, bar necklace, heart necklace, layering necklace, choker necklace, moon phase pendant.
Specify whether a chain is included and whether the listing is for one necklace or a set.
Earrings
Examples: stud earrings, hoop earrings, drop earrings, dangle earrings, huggie earrings, tassel earrings, pearl drop earrings, geometric earrings.
Describe the fastening, size and materials accurately. An earring style does not establish suitability for sensitive ears.
Rings
Examples: stacking ring, signet ring, spinner ring, midi ring, statement ring, adjustable ring, birthstone ring, wedding band.
Use adjustable only if the design allows adjustment, and state the actual size or range.
Bracelets and other pieces
Examples: charm bracelet, cuff bracelet, bangle bracelet, beaded bracelet, wrap bracelet, chain bracelet, anklet, brooch.
Distinguish a finished piece from loose charms, beads or jewelry-making supplies.
Metals and finishes
Examples: sterling silver ring, gold filled necklace, gold plated bracelet, brass cuff, copper pendant, oxidized silver earrings, rose gold plated studs, silver plated brooch.
Gold, gold filled and gold plated are not interchangeable. Name the actual metal and finish; color alone is not evidence of composition.
Stones and beads
Examples: pearl necklace, opal ring, amethyst pendant, turquoise bracelet, moonstone earrings, glass bead bracelet, resin pendant, gemstone necklace.
Identify the actual stone or bead and disclose relevant treatments or imitation materials. Do not imply healing effects from a gemstone name.
Style and shape
Examples: dainty necklace, minimalist ring, statement earrings, geometric pendant, celestial jewelry, nature inspired jewelry, vintage-inspired brooch, delicate bracelet.
Choose descriptors supported by the design and photos. Newly made retro styling is not proof that an item is vintage.
Technique and customization
Examples: wire wrapped pendant, hand stamped bracelet, engraved cuff, custom name necklace, initial pendant, personalised bracelet, beaded necklace, handmade earrings.
Use handmade, engraved or personalized only when that process or option is actually offered. A name design and a single initial are different details.
Occasion and recipient
Examples: bridesmaid earrings, bridal pearl necklace, anniversary bracelet, birthday jewelry gift, gift for mum, gift for mom, graduation necklace, wedding cufflinks.
Include an occasion only when the piece, packaging and available customization suit it. A gift phrase does not predict a purchase.
Longer descriptive phrases
Examples: sterling silver moon phase pendant, gold filled initial necklace, handmade copper cuff bracelet, pearl drop earrings for a bride, personalised birthstone bracelet for mum, geometric brass dangle earrings, adjustable silver stacking ring, engraved name bar necklace.
