Here are some simple tips you can follow to establish your credibility as a seller and start your own online jewelry retail business:
- Start small – test your market with items that are in the lower price range. Silver and crystals (ie Swarovski jewelry) are good test items for an online jewelry store. Some first-time sellers prefer to start off in the lower-price niche markets such as body jewelry (tongue rings, belly rings, etc). Ceramic and wooden accessories are also relatively risk-free and are easier to sell to the younger market.
- Pictures paint a thousand words – When it comes to jewelry and online sales, nothing beats the power of photos. Your customers won’t be able to see the actual products. Descriptions of how it looks just won’t cut it. The solution: post images of your product. Make sure they are clear, so adjust the lighting before taking product shots. You should also consider taking pictures from different angles. If you have pictures of the piece worn by a model, that would be a nice addition to the product’s gallery.
- Be very detail-oriented – This applies to product descriptions. Indicate the right size and color of the piece. If it has precious stones add the cut and clarity in the product description. Special care instructions also need to be included in your product page.
- Certifications – If the jewelry you want to sell online is made of precious stones or metals, it would be ideal to get those professionally assessed and certified. It adds to that much-coveted trust factor.
- Be clear about your policies – Your customers need to know what they can do if they are not 100% satisfied with the purchase, so this should be reflected in your return policies. They also need to be made aware that their purchases are safe. You can communicate this through your shipping policy. Be detailed about how the item will be packaged to ensure protection. If insurance is included in the shipping, please indicate the maximum amount for coverage and if this will entail cost to the buyer.

I think that the major issue is with pictures, i would suggest making them uniform for all your products and adding something in the pictures to prove that they are yours. Something like a manikin that has your logo on it or something in the background that stands out in all the pictures.

They can show a three-dimensional visual effect from different thickness, colors, and angles of light refraction. It even adds the elegance and beauty which gives us quiet, peaceful inner feelings; appreciate the glass to "breathe" from the natural beauty revealed from it. Monochrome glass showing a clear texture; different colors of glass works show different kinds of creation languages by the flow of colors.

Here’s an idea – take advantage of palladium’s mildly surging interest among consumers. Because of its price point, more and more people want to know about palladium, yet do not have many places that can give them the right answers.

Online, appearance rules the day. If you site LOOKS professional and secure people will probably buy. If you site looks like it was built in 2001 by a 10 year old, they probably won't. Definitely use pictures, big text, and open white space! Good luck everyone!
