Tag Workshop: Mosaic Turquoise Earrings

The Oh Canada Team recently asked some members to help each other with tag ideas. We’re going to share their products and tags here every week, and examine the different suggestions from each seller. This experiment aims to give an outside perspective on valuable Etsy search terms for a variety of product styles. We hope you will find some new tag ideas as well!

Round Mosaic Turquoise Earrings
by Little Bear's Mom

This week’s Tag Workshop item is a pretty pair of earrings with round mosaic turquoise beads, by Little Bear’s Mom. The description reads: From each hammered copper earwire hangs a perfectly round bead of mosaic turquoise with its lovely tones of blue, green and brown. Very organic and earthy looking. Each earring measures 1 7/8 inches in length.

bstudio suggests these tags:

jewelry, earrings, turquoise, copper,
hammered, green, simple, casual, pierced,
blue, gemstone, southwestern, mottled, natural

Blue Jeans Jewelry recommends:

jewelry, earrings, copper, beaded, wire-wrapped,
turquoise, blue, brown, green, earthy, handmade,

Each list contains some great search terms, including style descriptions that would help this listing turn up in customer searches. Although tags aren’t meant to describe what an item could be used for, using the some of the Five W’s creatively is a great way to get your designs found. What is it? Where is it from? Who uses it? What does it look like? How would you categorize it in your wardrobe or home?
