This study compares the brand stories of Cartier, Chanel, and Tiffany in terms of story elements and narrative structure. It also examines the narrative components of these luxury brands and their possible departures from the prototypical story format; in addition, the present study investigates how the narrative dimension is incorporated into brand marketing. This study combines content analysis, textual analysis, and the interviews with a jewelry expert and three jewelry businessmen to analyze the brand stories. The results show that both Cartier and Tiffany adopt a linear narrative structure, focusing on the evolution of the brand. In contrast, Chanel, placing emphasis on the creator of the brand, focuses on Lady Co-Co Chanel's character and spirit. In spite that their brand stories do not include the typical narrative elements, such as villain, conflict, and plot, all of them use brand story to deliver the essence of their brand to consumers.
