Direct question

How many chains have you thrown out this year?

Specific number

Forty dollars, four times. That's one real chain.

Contrarian

The $40 necklace is the expensive one.

Stop doing X

Stop calling the cheap chain the budget option.

Empathy call-out

You know the drawer. The green one, the kinked one, the clasp that broke.

Script

Opener (0:00 – 0:10)

How many chains have you thrown out this year? Be honest — count them while I polish this one.

Body

A plated chain from a fast-fashion site runs around $40. Mine, gold-filled, is 1/20 14k bonded to brass — about 100 times more gold on the piece. The plated one lasts you, what, three months before it turns your neck green or the clasp gives out. So you rebuy. Four times a year, that's $160 you spent on necklaces that are now in a drawer or a landfill. My Everyday Trace is $90, one time, and I have been wearing mine in the shower, at the gym, sleeping in it, for over two years. The cheap chain is not the budget move. It is just the slower, uglier version of spending the money.

Close / CTA

If you want me to tell you which piece is the right one to start with for your neck, your skin, your life — DM me the word STACK and I will send you one, personally, not a link to the whole site.

Production paths

  1. 1.Set up at your bench. Phone vertical on a small tripod or propped against a stack of books, lens about chest height, framed on your hands and the polishing cloth. No face in frame — this is hands-only.
  2. 2.Natural light from your studio window, late afternoon, same light that worked for the hoop reshoot. If the window is behind the phone, you are good; if it is behind your hands, move.
  3. 3.Props to have in frame before you start: one Everyday Trace in gold-filled, a small loose pile of 3–4 thin tangled chains off to the side (your own dead ones or sample stock — these are the 'thrown out' chains the opener counts), a polishing cloth, and the piece you are actively polishing throughout.
  4. 4.Record the full script in one take while slowly, deliberately polishing the Everyday Trace. Keep hands moving the entire time — the polishing is the task the voice sits on top of. Phone mic is fine; keep the room quiet, no music playing while recording.
  5. 5.If you flub a line, pause for two seconds and pick up from the start of that sentence — easier to cut later than to redo the whole take.
  6. 6.Shoot one extra 10-second clip of your hand pushing the pile of dead chains to the side, and one 10-second clip of the finished Everyday Trace laid flat on the cloth. You will use these as cutaways if a section runs long or feels static.
  7. 7.Import to CapCut. Trim the opener tight — the question should land in the first 1.5 seconds. Cut any dead air between sentences down to a single frame.
  8. 8.Run the clip through Submagic for captions. Use a clean sans-serif, white with a thin black outline, positioned in the lower third but above the TikTok caption safe zone.
  9. 9.Add the on-screen graphics from the cue sheet, one per cue, over the line it belongs to. Keep them in your brand palette — the warm cream and the deep gold you already use on product pages. Hold each graphic for the length of the spoken line, then clear.
  10. 10.Add the opening title scene over the hook — the pile of tangled chains with the clean one being polished, hook text sitting top-third so it does not fight the hands.
  11. 11.Export at 1080x1920, 9:16. Watch it once through muted to check the graphics tell the story on their own, then once with sound to check pacing.

Platform captions

TikTok
the $40 chain is not the budget option. count how many you've rebought this year and tell me i'm wrong. DM me STACK if you want a rec, not a sales pitch.

I did the math on the chain you keep rebuying, because nobody else is going to.

$40, four times a year, is $160 of necklaces now sitting in a drawer or a landfill. The Everyday Trace is $90 once, 1/20 14k gold-filled, and mine has been through two years of showers, workouts, and sleeping in it.

The cheap chain isn't the budget move. It's just the slower version of spending the money.

If you want me to tell you personally which piece to start with — DM me STACK. Not a link to the whole site, an actual recommendation from me.

Thumbnail brief

Build this in Canva over a frame from your video — it's a design brief, not a prompt to paste.

Crop
9:16 vertical, cropped tight on the hands and the bench — a small pile of thin tangled chains on the left, one clean gold chain laid straight on the polishing cloth on the right
Words
$40 x 4 = $160
Placement
overlay text centered in the upper third, large and bold; the chains fill the middle and lower two-thirds with the tangled pile on the left and the clean chain on the right
Colors
warm cream background matching your product pages, deep gold accent for the overlay text, thin black outline on the type so it reads at thumbnail size
Element
a small painted or digital red X mark over the pile of tangled chains, nothing over the clean one

Scheduling

Tool: Later

  1. 1.Open Later and connect your TikTok and Instagram accounts if they are not already linked.
  2. 2.Upload the exported 9:16 MP4 to your Later media library.
  3. 3.Create a new post for TikTok scheduled for Thursday 7:00 PM PT. Paste the TikTok caption from this pack. Add the three hashtags.
  4. 4.Duplicate the post for Instagram Reels at the same time slot. Paste the Instagram Reels caption. Add the four hashtags.
  5. 5.In the Instagram scheduling view, set the cover frame to the moment the clean Everyday Trace is laid flat on the polishing cloth — around the end of the video — so the feed grid stays clean.
  6. 6.Turn on 'auto-publish' for both. Confirm the preview matches on each platform before you leave the tab.
  7. 7.Set a phone reminder for 7:05 PM PT Thursday to check that both posted and to start replying to DMs with the STACK keyword flow.

Lead capture

Where this should drive

The destination is Saskia's Instagram and TikTok DMs. When a viewer sends the word STACK, Saskia replies personally with a 2–3 question mini-consult (what they wear daily, any skin sensitivity, budget range) and recommends one specific piece with a direct product link. This is intentionally not an automated flow — the personal recommendation IS the conversion mechanism and matches the voice and the price point. Keep a running Notes doc or Airtable of each STACK conversation, the recommendation made, and whether it converted, so after 30 days you can see which pieces are the right starter recs and bake that into product page copy.

Set up with Instagram and TikTok DMs (manual, no automation)

  1. 1.Pin a saved reply in Instagram DMs titled 'STACK intake' with this text: 'Hi! Thanks for the DM. Quick three questions so I can send you the right rec — 1) what do you wear every day right now (necklace, earrings, both, nothing), 2) do your ears or skin react to most jewelry, 3) what's a comfortable one-time spend. I'll come back with one piece, not a whole catalog.'
  2. 2.Save a second reply titled 'STACK follow-up' as a blank template you fill in per person — product name, direct link, one sentence on why that piece specifically.
  3. 3.On TikTok, create the same two saved replies under Settings → Business Suite → Quick Replies.
  4. 4.In your Notes app or a simple Airtable, make a tracker with columns: date, platform, handle, their answers, piece recommended, link sent, converted (y/n). Fill it in as you reply.
  5. 5.Set a daily 15-minute block (morning and evening) to clear STACK DMs. Reply within 12 hours while the video is still in their feed.
