Zales’ Rebrand Takes Playful Approach to Fine Jewelry
The Signet Jewelers-owned retailer wants to encourage younger shoppers to wear fine jewelry every day, not just on special occasions.
Zales launched the “Own It” campaign as part of its rebrand, encouraging shoppers to wear fine jewelry for any occasion.
Dallas—Zales, which celebrated its 100th anniversary last year, is ready for a rebrand.
The Signet Jewelers-owned banner launched the “Own It” campaign Tuesday, a playful take on fine jewelry that invites a new generation of jewelry shoppers to get to know Zales.
Directed by filmmaker Marie Schüller and captured by photographer Hannah Sider, the campaign marks a pivotal moment for Zales, said the brand, as it looks to form a new identity.
The goal is to encourage fashion-forward customers to wear fine jewelry every day rather than just for special occasions.
“Jewelry is not just about marking milestones; it’s about elevating everyday moments. With this new campaign, we’re inviting our customers to embrace their individuality, wear what they love, and, most importantly, ‘Own It’,” Zales President Kecia Caffie said.

Beyond the new campaign, Zales is also expanding its merchandise assortment, with product offerings like its “Stellar Allure” lab-grown diamond jewelry and its “Whimly by Zales” collection, which offers stackable designs at accessible price points.
“Whimly” features 10- and 14-karat gold and 18-karat gold-plated earrings, necklaces and rings with lab-grown diamonds or colored gemstones, with prices starting around $30.
The brand will also be focusing on customization and personalization.
“Jewelry is for every occasion—morning coffee, dog walks, even the gym,” Zales Creative Director Lionel Cipriano said.
“We’re here to make fine jewelry effortless, wearable, and unapologetically you. No rules, just stunning pieces that fit your life. Diamonds with denim? Absolutely. Gold hoops for the morning commute? Why not, When you wear what makes you feel good, you shine. So, own it.”
“Jewelry is for every occasion—morning coffee, dog walks, even the gym,” according to Zales Creative Director Lionel Cipriano.
Zales also will introduce a “store of the future” concept, it said, reimagining its physical stores with new digital aspects for a more “self-serve” and personalized shopping experience.
The retailer will also take a digital-first media strategy, expanding into new channels like mobile gaming while also continuing its influencer partnerships to connect with younger audiences and highlight the importance of peer-to-peer recommendations.
Zales’ parent company Signet Jewelers’ is in the midst of enacting a new turnaround plan, called “Grow Brand Love.”
The plan focuses in part on creating a clear distinction among its banners, renovating some stores while closing others, and expanding its merchandise assortment to include more lower-priced jewelry for gifting and shoppers looking to buy something for themselves.
