Hook options

Pick the one you’ll use — the script opener updates to match

Direct question

How many times have you replaced the same necklace?

Specific number

Four cheap necklaces cost more than one real one.

Stop doing X

Stop buying the same $40 necklace over and over.

Contrarian

Cheap jewelry is the expensive option.

Empathy call-out

If you've replaced the same chain four times, this is for you.

Script

Opener (0:00 – 0:10)

How many times have you replaced the same necklace? Because if the answer is four, you already spent gold-filled money — you just spent it on plated.

Body

Watch. Thirty dollars. Turned green in a month. Forty dollars, lasted maybe six weeks before the clasp gave out. Thirty-five, this one snapped in the shower. Another forty because you needed something to wear to work Monday. That's a hundred and forty-five dollars, and you own nothing. You're staring at four dead chains in a dish. My Everyday Trace is ninety. It's 1/20 14k gold-filled — a hundred times more gold than any of these — and I wear mine to sleep, to the gym, in the ocean. Every day for three years and it still looks like the day I made it. The math isn't the flex. The flex is you stop thinking about your necklace.

Close / CTA

If you don't know where to start, DM me the word STACK and I'll send you the piece I'd tell my sister to buy first.

Production paths

  1. 1.Setup: clear your bench top. You need four cheap tarnished/broken chains (dig through your dish of dead pieces — greenish, kinked, snapped clasps, the uglier the better) laid out to the left, and one Everyday Trace laid out to the right. Leave visible space between them.
  2. 2.Phone framing: mount your phone on a tripod or prop it against something stable, shooting straight down onto the bench in 9:16 vertical. Frame so your hands enter from the bottom and the two groups of chains fill the middle third. Do a test tap-focus on the chains — they should be sharp, the background bench slightly soft.
  3. 3.Light: shoot near your studio window in daylight (the same afternoon window light that worked for the hoop reshoot). No ring light. Aim for late afternoon so the gold reads warm, not orange.
  4. 4.Audio: record your voice on your phone mic in the same take — no external mic needed. Keep your face over the bench so the mic picks up cleanly. Do one full run-through as a rehearsal without recording, then record.
  5. 5.Action: as you say each price, pick that chain up with tweezers or fingertips and set it down in a row. One chain per price. When you get to the Everyday Trace line, pick it up slowly and let it catch the light. On the last line about the flex, set it down and pull your hands out of frame.
  6. 6.Shoot 2–3 full takes. Pick the one where the pacing feels most conversational and where at least one chain catches the light on the Everyday Trace reveal.
  7. 7.Edit in CapCut: trim dead air at the head and tail. Cut any long pauses between chain pickups to keep the pace tight. Add on-screen numbers as each price is spoken — '$30', '$40', '$35', '$40', and then '$145 = nothing' when you hit the total. On the Everyday Trace line, overlay '$90 · 1/20 14k gold-filled'.
  8. 8.Run it through Submagic for auto-captions. Style: bold sans-serif, white with a thin black stroke, positioned in the lower third but above the caption safe zone.
  9. 9.Export at 1080x1920, high quality. Save to your camera roll and to Later.

Platform captions

TikTok
the necklace you keep replacing is not the budget choice. DM me STACK if you want a starting piece rec — I'll actually reply.

four dead chains in a dish = one Everyday Trace you never take off. the math on cheap jewelry stops mathing around replacement number three.

DM me the word STACK and I'll send you the piece I'd tell my sister to buy first — not a link dump, an actual recommendation based on what you already wear.

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 from your overhead bench still. Keep the four dead chains filling the left two-thirds of the frame and the Everyday Trace alone on the right. Your hands are not in this frame.
Words
$145 = nothing
Placement
Overlay text sits across the upper third, centered, large enough to read on a phone thumbnail at swipe speed. The Everyday Trace on the right side of the frame is the visual element — do not cover it with text.
Colors
Warm daylight tones from the bench shot; overlay text in your brand off-white with a thin warm shadow so it reads against the wood.
Element
The single Everyday Trace chain on the right, catching light — the one clean piece against the dish of dead ones.

Scheduling

Tool: Later

  1. 1.Open Later and upload the exported vertical MP4.
  2. 2.Create the post for both TikTok and Instagram Reels — attach the caption for each platform from this pack.
  3. 3.Set the publish time to Thursday at 7:00 PM PT.
  4. 4.For Instagram: turn on 'Share as Reel' and set the cover to the still that matches the thumbnail design (upload the still separately as the custom cover). For TikTok, use the first-frame default cover — the overhead bench shot reads clearly.
  5. 5.Double-check the DM keyword STACK is spelled the same in both captions.
  6. 6.Schedule and confirm — Later will auto-publish to both platforms.

Lead capture

Where this should drive

The DM thread itself is the destination — the word STACK triggers a real conversation where Saskia (or a saved reply) recommends a starter piece based on what the person already wears. This is warmer than sending someone straight to a product page for a considered $90+ purchase from a buyer who has been burned before: the conversation directly reduces the 'I don't want to be wrong again' risk objection this audience carries. Follow-up: after the recommendation, the reply includes a direct link to that specific product page.

Set up with Instagram + TikTok native DM saved replies

  1. 1.Instagram: open the app, go to Settings → Business tools → Saved replies. Create a new shortcut called 'stack' with a message like: 'Hey! Thanks for the DM. Quick question so I can point you at the right piece — do you already wear a necklace daily, or are you starting from zero? And do you prefer thin and delicate or something with a little more weight? I'll send you one recommendation, not a catalog.'
  2. 2.Save a second reply called 'stack-thin' with a link to your Everyday Trace product page and a one-line pitch. Save a third called 'stack-chunky' with a link to your thicker chain and its one-line pitch.
  3. 3.TikTok: TikTok doesn't have saved replies natively, so keep a note on your phone with the same three messages. Copy-paste when a STACK DM comes in.
  4. 4.For the first 48 hours after posting, check DMs at least twice a day — the whole point of this CTA is that people get a real reply, not silence.
  5. 5.Track which starter piece gets recommended most in a simple note — this tells you which product to feature in the next dedicated email sequence.
