Fashion Jewellery sellers can list an offer against an existing ASIN only if the seller provides the same product and the same brand to the customer. Listing an offer against a similar or a lookalike product under a trademark would qualify as brand infringement. Please refer to FAQs below:

Can I add an offer to a Fashion Jewellery ASIN?

A seller can list an offer against an existing ASIN only if the seller is providing the same product and the same brand to the customer.

I have the same jewellery design. Would that be okay?

No. If the ASIN is listed under a trademark brand, listing an offer against it (with an item not belonging to the concerned brand) would qualify as brand infringement. Corrective action would be taken against the defaulting seller, based on complaints from the brand trademark holder.
