Our jewellery has always carried meaning, but our website didn’t tell that story. UXphoria helped us build an experience that feels as elegant and thoughtful as our pieces. For the first time, customers immediately understand our craftsmanship, our values, and why our jewellery matters. -Lumavie Team!
THE CLIENT
Lumavie Jewelry is a modern Scandinavian-inspired jewelry brand offering minimalist fine jewelry, lab-grown diamonds, personalized pieces, engagement rings, and everyday luxury essentials. The brand blends craftsmanship, ethical sourcing, and emotion-led design , but its luxury jewelry shopping experience online didn’t reflect any of that.
Before working with UXphoria, Lumavie had:
Lumavie’s goal:
“Give us a website that feels luxurious, trustworthy, and easy to shop , something aligned with modern jewellery buyers who need clarity before they commit.”
THE CHALLENGE
Luxury jewellery buyers don’t make quick decisions.
They evaluate, compare, magnify photos, look for flaws, and need reassurance before purchasing anything high-value , especially in a luxury ecommerce UX design context.
Across our audit, several challenges appeared immediately:
1. No Clear Brand Story or Emotional Hooky
Users couldn’t understand what made Lumavie special , the romance, craftsmanship, ethical sourcing, or Scandinavian aesthetic were all missing, weakening the emotional connection needed to reduce buyer hesitation.
2. PDPs Lacked Clarity & Trust
Product pages didn’t explain materials, lead times, personalisation details, or stone information clearly enough. This lack of jewelry product page optimization caused hesitation right before purchase.
3. Browsing Felt Harder Than It Needed to Bee
Browsing wasn’t effortless, especially for shoppers comparing styles or looking for something specific:
Collections lacked a clear structure or emotional introspection
Filtering was limited and didn’t match how jewellery buyers shop (stone, metal, size, availability)
Product cards didn’t surface key details like materials or lead times
Mobile navigation required too many taps to find important categories
Users struggled to understand where to start, especially gift and bridal shoppers
All of this made improved product discovery more difficult than it should have been.
4. Visual Identity Didn’t Match “Luxury Jewellery” Standards
Typography, imagery, colour, and spacing didn’t feel premium, resulting in lower confidence and reduced willingness to purchase high-value items.
5. No System for High-Value Reassurance
When buying jewellery online, customers need strong reassurance before committing:
No clear warranty or care information was visible during the journey
Materials and stone details were too light or buried
Lead times, delivery expectations, and resizing weren’t surfaced early
No consistent modules explaining craftsmanship or quality standards
Missing trust signals for jewelry buyers (returns, ethical sourcing, authenticity verification)
THE SOLUTION
UXphoria rebuilt Lumavie’s digital foundation from the inside out as part of a luxury jewelry website redesign.
Our mission was simple:
Create a luxury jewellery shopping experience that feels emotional, trustworthy, and effortless , especially for mobile shoppers who need clarity and confidence before buying high-value pieces through a mobile-first luxury UX.
Lumavie gained:
A clean luxury identity with Scandinavian-inspired calm and premium ecommerce design
A clearer, emotionally driven brand story
Strong trust cues across the entire journey, providing high-value purchase reassurance
Product pages designed like high-performing sales funnels through jewelry product page optimization
Personalised and bridal pathways that guide users smoothly
A mobile-first navigation system that’s easier to scan
Better image presentation with lifestyle + close-up balance
Clearer information around materials, warranties, and lead times
Everything we redesigned had a single goal:
Reduce hesitation and help customers feel confident buying jewellery online.
