When you're trying to level up your TikTok presence in the luxury/accessories space, studying the best performers (and brands) in your industry is what I typically recommend and personally do for my own clients/projects (everything from content cadence to visual branding techniques, etc).
For those in the jewellery/watches niche (selling watches, rings, necklaces, or other accessories), I came cross these great brand examples below you can reference (incl. key learnings/things I like) which can help with your content + production strategies.
And for those who've stumbled across my TikTok brand guides before (like this one on drinks/beverages and this one sporting goods), you’ll read observations of things I personally notice and quite like from each account. Naturally though, there are many takeaways/learnings you’ll pick up when to check out each brand’s account.
And how do I come across/find brands doing well on the platform? (I get asked this a bit) - I found most of these jewellery/watch brands through creative centre ads library + trending pages through normal organic searching on the app (recommend to use for your own research purposes). :)
