Beyond the Buzzwords

Overview

Jewelry marketers today can’t afford to guess which keywords will perform. This case study analyzes what’s actually working across Facebook Ads, DV360, and Google Ads—revealing which search terms attract consistent clicks, which ones are gaining momentum, and which are costing money without delivering results.

The goal is simple: help marketers focus on the most effective keywords and platforms to drive more traffic and sales. From reliable performers like Minimalistic Jewelry to emerging opportunities like Everyday Jewelry, this report offers practical guidance to build smarter, more profitable campaigns.

Which Keywords You Can Count On Week After Week

When running ads week after week, stability matters. Minimalistic Jewelry and Multi-strand Necklaces showed consistent interest over time, with no major drop-offs. These are great candidates for always-on campaigns that require dependable performance.

Charm Bracelets had some strong weeks but was less consistent, while Baroque Jewelry and Colorful Jewelry were unpredictable—performing well early on, then trailing off. These keywords may need more careful timing or targeting to avoid wasting spend.

Which Keywords Are Taking Off—and Which Are Falling Behind

Several keywords are gaining momentum fast. Colorful Jewelry saw a 625% jump in engagement, and Minimalistic Jewelry and Charm Bracelets followed with strong spikes. These trends suggest rising interest and should be prioritized in upcoming campaigns.

On the flip side, Baroque Jewelry showed a steep drop after an early high. If you're still investing in this term, it may be time to pause or refresh the messaging.

Which Keywords Show the Strongest Growth Patterns Over Time

Looking at weekly performance patterns, Minimalistic Jewelry and Multi-strand Necklaces stayed consistent with modest, reliable results. Colorful Jewelry built up interest over time, peaking toward year-end—ideal for seasonal pushes.

Baroque Jewelry stood out at first but quickly declined. Charm Bracelets came and went in bursts. These keywords may work best in short, time-limited promotions.

What to Promote on Weekdays vs. Weekends

Timing matters. Vintage and Artisan Jewelry consistently perform better on weekdays. If you're promoting elegant, classic styles, keep them in front of weekday shoppers.

By contrast, Layered and Boho Jewelry see more action on weekends. These fun, relaxed styles pair well with Friday–Sunday promotions and influencer-led weekend content.

What’s Getting Views But Not Clicks—And What To Fix

Baroque Jewelry and Formal Jewelry had strong visibility but weak engagement. Despite being shown often, shoppers weren’t clicking. That’s a sign your creative or targeting needs work—or it's time to shift focus entirely.

Even Minimalistic Jewelry, usually a solid performer, showed signs of fatigue after a strong run. If performance slips, test new visuals or copy before pulling the plug.

New Keyword Trends You Should Jump On Now

These keywords saw sharp, recent spikes and show clear signs of growing shopper interest:

• Everyday Jewelry (+320%)
• Bold Jewelry (+250%)
• Fashion Brooches, Ear Cuffs, and Elegant and Modern Jewelry also surged

They’re fresh, relevant, and perfect for limited-time campaigns or seasonal launches.

Which Keywords Work Best on Facebook, DV360, and Google Ads

• On DV360, Animal Jewelry led the pack, followed by Cocktail Rings and Festival Jewelry. These bold, visual styles do well in high-impact display formats.
• On Facebook Ads, Fall Jewelry, Body Jewelry, and Midi Rings performed best—great for lifestyle storytelling and seasonal content.
• On Google Ads, Modern and Crystal Jewelry stood out—terms that match search intent and suit product pages or shopping ads.

Matching the right keywords to the right platform pays off.

Where Your Ad Spend Pays Off the Most

• Facebook Ads delivered the highest returns, especially for Fall Jewelry (ROAS 34.88) and Body Jewelry (ROAS 32.20).
• DV360 followed, with strong performance from Animal and Festival Jewelry.
• Google Ads offered moderate returns, especially for niche, product-focused keywords like Nature-Inspired and Mixed Metal Jewelry.

If you're spending broadly across platforms, it’s time to refine. Invest where the returns are proven.

Conclusion & Recommendations

The key to higher-performing jewelry campaigns isn’t just more spend—it’s smarter spend. This report shows that marketers can drive better results by focusing on:

1. Reliable Performers: Keep Minimalistic and Multi-strand Necklaces in long-term rotation.
2. Emerging Trends: Prioritize Everyday Jewelry, Bold Jewelry, and Fashion Brooches before competitors catch on.
3. High-ROAS Combos: Allocate more to Fall Jewelry and Body Jewelry on Facebook, and Animal Jewelry on DV360.
4. Underperformers to Watch: Pause or refresh Baroque, Formal, and Delicate Bracelets.
5. Timing for Better Engagement: Run Boho and Layered themes on weekends; push Vintage styles on weekdays.

With these strategies, jewelry marketers can make every dollar work harder and turn high-intent searches into sales.
