Since I can't find the file I read last night, I am reposted what I posted in someone else's similar question. It seems incredibly difficult to break into the jewelry crowd, for sure, but your story is disheartening for a newbie like me! Anyway, here are some things I read that might help you:
One thing I read recently in some Etsy discussion or help file is to put the most important words people will search for in the item title, with the most important first. So think, what would people search for to find my item, that is first. If you have a fancy title for your work put that in the description. That is not what people will search for. Use all the space in your title and key words. Key words can be combined. For example I had Cincinnati and Ohio as two separate key words but by combining them, it will still show up, theoretically, with either Cincinnati or Ohio in the search. You can have twenty characters per key word. Etsy uses words in the title first for search parameters, then key words. I redid all my titles and key words last night based on what I read on the help file. You can look at them if you want but keep in mind I am new and still learning and just did what was in the help file. I also started an instagram account because I was told that will help promote, though I haven't figured out how yet. I also started playing the games on various teams like post one item and view the ten above you. It takes time but it increases the views and favorites, another parameter Etsy uses for listings. The only other parameter I can think of is for Google, they consider the number of places your link is posted online. So if you have a personal website or friends with similar interests get your site linked. I hope that helps. Like I said, I am new so I don't really know if any of the things I do are going to help. I just keep tweaking. Most of your pictures are great, but some of them are a little difficult to see the item. You might want to look at those as well. I might also recommend the team Shop Critique, which will give you some critiques, but the way that it is set up, it is likely that the critiques will come from beginners and not necessarily experienced people. If you learn any other suggestions, I would be interested in hearing them.
