We made important changes to jewelry listings in August 2025 that affect how you create and manage your products on Amazon stores. The new classifications streamline the listing process, help make your products more visible in customer searches, and could reduce customer returns.
The following attribute changes apply to new listings:
New mandatory classification
You must now classify your jewelry as either “fine” or “fashion” using the new “jewelry_material_categorization” attribute. This classification will automatically show you relevant options, which can reduce listing creation time.
New listings without this classification will be suppressed until updated
Existing listings that didn’t have this classification before August 31, 2025, will not be suppressed, but we strongly recommend that you update your catalog to reflect these changes.
Updated pearl requirements
The following industry-standard attributes for pearl listings are now required: pearl luster, shape, minimum color, type, size per pearl, and number of pearls.
The following attributes are optional: stringing method, surface blemishes, and uniformity.
Updated material and metal requirements
The following attributes for material and metal type are now required: metal type and metal stamp.
The following attribute is optional: metal weight.
Next steps
