    Joel, I don't sell wholesale so may be completely wrong in my
    comments, but it strikes me that for your own protection, all of
    your wholesale information (obviously it contains pictures) that you
    have should be clearly marked with some sort of protective statement
    for you, such as "This information may not be reproduced in any form
    without consent from the jeweler (author, owner, however you wish to
    desiginate yourself). 

    At least in that way it would serve as a warning - though I doubt
    seriously it would prevent anyone from doing what this person did if
    they really want to do this. I think if you are really uncomfortable
    with her doing this, I'd certainly call her up and talk to her about
    it and tell her that you find this is competing with your own website
    and that if she wishes to purchase the items she may, otherwise,
    you'd like her to remove them from her website or clearly include
    your name and website designation. 

    I also think (though I don't know the technology) that you can set
    up your documents so that the pictures may not be copied.  I have
    tried occasionally to copy a photograph from the website and
    sometimes it can't be copied or saved no matter what you do.  So I
    know there is technology out there that will accomplish this.  Maybe
    you even know how to do it already. 

    Good luck with your dilema and I feel for you. 

Kay
