Jewelry isn’t just beautiful—it’s hard to market. In this hybrid episode of Legacy of Luxury, Nick Constantino and Jaron Solomon break down what’s broken in jewelry marketing, from abandoned brand-building to the overhype of data-driven performance. They talk sports partnerships, in-store experience, digital agency pitfalls, and the new rules of trust and storytelling.

Key Takeaways

• Performance marketing without brand marketing is a dead end.
• Radio still builds long-term loyalty in ways social can’t touch.
• Sports sponsorships create trust signals and real-world rapport.
• In-store experience is a brand touchpoint, not just a transaction.
• Agencies must evolve from vendors to strategic partners.
• Independent jewelers are luxury brands—not just resellers.
