    Dear everybody - the only time i ever referred to myself as an
    enigma, the person got offended. i call myself metalsmith, because i
    work out of my home and i'd rather not advertise imaginary value.
    (no diamond coffee tables here.) i don't say i cut rocks, either,
    because that can have an unfortunate drug connotation. i say
    instead, if asked, if it comes up, "i cut and carve my own stones."
    i never say gems - again, for safety and security. my business card
    has a contact number, but no address; it lists my main gallery.
    jeweller sounds mysterious, traditional, and rich - and very likely
    to be misunderstood if said to the wrong people. at a jazz festival
    or a theater intermission, if i'm talking to a well dressed person
    without a prominent gold tooth, i'll say "jeweller." otherwise, i go
    with metalsmith. susannah
