Trademark Class 14: Jewellery and watches
Jewellery, precious stones and timepieces. Costume jewellery belongs here too — the class is not limited to precious materials.
“Precious metals and their alloys; jewellery, precious and semi-precious stones; horological and chronometric instruments.”
Official class heading, Nice Agreement, Eleventh Edition. Published by the USPTO.
Typical goods and services in class 14
- Rings, necklaces, bracelets and earrings
- Costume and fashion jewellery
- Watches and clocks
- Precious metals and gemstones
- Jewellery boxes and watch straps
Example of pre-approved USPTO wording for this class: Jewelry; watches. Using the USPTO’s own ID Manual language keeps your filing fee at the base rate — describing your goods in your own words carries a surcharge of $200 per class.

Work out how many classes you need Check if the name is taken
This page describes how the USPTO groups goods and services in general. It is not legal advice about your application, and the lists above are written for the common case rather than being exhaustive. Which classes you actually need depends on what you sell, and a licensed attorney confirms them before anything is filed.
