It did seem bizarre to me that an entity that was legitimately selling a product as high-status as jewelry would resort to a marketing tactic as low-status as spamming.

Jewellery is not high status. It is worn at every level of society from high to low, at corresponding levels of price.

Amusing story from the low end of the market.
