Dan,

    I don't consider it self-limiting at all just because I don't want
    deal with wedding stuff. Go to any mall and all of the commercial
    jewelers have cases chock full of wedding items. Why try to compete
    with that ? I want to create one-off "art jewelry", and I consider
    most wedding jewelry to be somewhat limited in its variations. At
    the moment, with my business being in its infancy, I can't really
    afford the gold/platinum/diamond materials which are required for
    most wedding jewelry. I work mostly in silver and colored gemstones,
    and soon enamel. I'm happy with that. I have an especial dislike for
    diamonds, which most people want to see in wedding jewelry (you know
    - "a diamond is forever" - meaning some poor groom is paying for it
    forever ;-).
