Etsy tags & google search

Are Etsy tags important to goggle search or just to Etsy search? I realize shop categories, item titles and the first several words of your item description effect both Etsy search and google search, but I'm not understanding where our 13 tags come into play. Is it ok to repeat words in the 13 tags for both Etsy search and google search? Multiple words in a tag are ok now and it doesn't appear that tag "stuffing" is against the rules anymore with all the changes recently. Is it ok to repeat words in tags so it won't hurt seo with google? For example, if you sell necklaces, is it good or bad to have tags like wedding necklace, formal necklace, prom necklace as tags at the same time for an item or is repeating the word necklace hurting you somewhere? I still don't get where repeating words hurt you. Etsy search? Google search? Titles? Descriptions? Tags????? I think I am driving myself crazy and maybe missing out on being found on Etsy because I don't think I should repeat words in the tags. Help!

Someone told me a few days ago that using the same word more than twice will hurt you on search results, but I don't know why or is how accurate that info is.
