Overview
- .jewelry is a generic top-level domain (gTLD) string intended for the jewelry sector.
- The string was applied for under ICANN's New gTLD Program and is designated as a generic TLD.
History
- The .jewelry application was part of ICANN's New gTLD Program.
- The TLD was delegated to the DNS Root Zone on 16 April 2015.
- Donuts (via Wild Bloom, LLC) is the registry operator/manager for the delegated .jewelry TLD.
- Multiple applicants competed for the string during the application process.
Usage and Audience
- The TLD is aimed at the jewelry sector and related market participants.
- It is suitable for businesses, brands, and organizations associated with jewelry (as implied by the string).
Notable Cases or Examples
- Applicants recorded in the application process included:
- Donuts (Wild Bloom, LLC) — ultimately the registry operator.
- Richemont DNS Inc.
- Both Donuts and Richemont submitted Public Interest Commitments (PICs) as part of their applications.
- Richemont's application received a GAC Early Warning (from Australia / GAC Chair Heather Dryden) noting concern about exclusive access to a common generic string and potential negative impacts on competition.
