    Dear Dan,  del Mano Gallery in Brentwood has some good jewelers .
    Also, there are a few shows in LA where you might meet some studio
    jewelers displaying theor work: the Contemporary Craft MArket , held
    in early June at the Santa MOnica Civic Aud. has a wide spectrum of
    talented creative jewelers working in diverse media , copncepts and
    price ranges.  There is also an outdoor show called the Beverly Hills
    Affair in the Garden...haven't been there lately, but i used to enjoy
    it ,too. 

    Just thought I'd mention as advice to less experienced studio
    jewelers and as a suggestion to you, Dan : an independant  jeweler
    working out of a private studio who would invite in a person who is:
    unkown to them, who comes without a referral of any type and only
    identifies him(her)self by a first name  is taking a very chancy leap
    of faith.  If I received a request  to see my work (unless, Dan,  you
    meant politically interesting or...?) with similar circumstances, I
    would ask the persons full name, maybe if we knew anyone in common,
    if they were interested in just meeting and talking with jewelers or
    if they were familiar with my work and interested in  possibly
    aquiring a piece. If the person  seemed interesting but  I didn't
    feel completely  at ease  with the situation , I would suggest  a
    comfortable and convenient place to meet  and bring some examples of
    work and slides with me. 

    People need to be open to new experiences and not to order their
    lives based on fear...but  that doesn't mean one needs to be
    indiscriminate with issues of safety and time.  A little common
    sense, a little listening to intuition  makes everyone more at ease
    and needn't be unfriendly or inhibiting at all. kindest regards, 
Marianne
