    You say that she is an established jeweler with work not unlike your
    own. So then why would she need to copy your designs?? Perhaps she
    was just checking out the competition (something that most large
    companies and a lot of small ones do). The fact that she was in
    looking at your work does not immediately imply that she is there to
    copy. (Perhaps she had heard that your work was not unlike hers and
    she wanted to see if you were copying her designs!!) The fact that
    she didn't introduce herself to you can be for a number of reasons. I
    have walked into jewelry stores (across the country from where I am
    located) and told the people that I was a jeweler and been promptly
    escorted out the door. It also impacts the way people behave towards
    you in other ways. Sometimes it's nice to see how you're treated by
    other people in the field so that you can assess how you're doing.
    Personally I think you've over reacted.
