About this Project
Showcase Jewellers embarked on a project to boost customer interaction and create enthusiasm around diamond jewelry through a dedicated app. The objective was to provide an immersive experience for customers, allowing them to explore and engage with diamond products, find nearby stores, and even virtually "try on" the jewelry.
The Challenge
Showcase Jewellers aimed to address the lack of specific focus on diamond products and create a unique way to showcase the allure of diamond jewelry. The challenge was to infuse emotions and aesthetics into the app, offering users an enriched way to explore, experience, and share their interaction with diamond pieces.
“There is probably not enough specific focus being paid to diamond products at the moment, so we believe this is a great way to bring back home how beautiful diamond jewellery is. We also wanted to show consumers how wonderful diamond jewellery can make you feel, so we have aimed to build these emotions into the app as well.” - Manager:Carson Webb
Solution
The Showcase Jewellers app, designed in collaboration with Elegant Media, centered on diamond and bridal jewelry, with an emphasis on diamond rings, earrings, and pendants. To convey the beauty and sentiment behind diamond pieces, the app integrated innovative features:360-Degree View: A 3D visual spinning function allowed users to examine products from all angles, offering a comprehensive view.
Virtual "Try-On" Function: Users could virtually "wear" jewelry items and share images on social media platforms, encouraging engagement and interaction.
Ring Size Selector: An intuitive tool helped users determine their ideal ring size, enhancing their online shopping experience.
Store Locator: Integrated GPS functionality guided users to their nearest Showcase Jewellers store, promoting in-store visits.
Results
The app received widespread recognition for its compelling design and functionality. Showcase Jewellers gained public attention for its innovative approach to consumer engagement. The app's "try-on" feature, in particular, resonated with users, contributing to increased sharing and social media activity.
