Naming websites
Website names are a tricky - though interesting - business. Some site names are amusing, some are cute, some are evocative, some are informational, some are funny. It all looks so easy when you just go to them, but try and come up with that perfect word or phrase and you discover how hard it is. Naming my blog seemed like a piece of cake compared with coming up with something catchy and just right for a jewelry site. I don't want too cute and I don't want my name and I don't want something with numbers and letters that you have to read aloud to understand. It could be a wonderful name or word, possibly misspelled, since some terrific words catch your attention and maybe even make you want to know more. I mean, Tiffany didn't used to equate with fine wonderful things and there's no intrinsic reason for Goodyear to be about tires. On the other hand, Yarn Market sells yarns and Country Curtains markets window treatments with a homey tone. The more I think about it, the less anything sounds acceptable let alone good let alone something I want to put out there for all the world to see. Anyway, thoughts or suggestions gratefully welcomed.

Jewelry is a pretty wide category; the answer may be in the specific subcategory (or sub-subcategory) which you're trying to market.

Good point, CGH. I do some metal (chains and links), beads, crystals, etc. Bracelets, necklaces, earrings and pins. For now, anyway. Stuff people like to wear and buy! Not high high end but not crafts either (or, as my son would say, dough pins). Does that help??

The first thing that came to mind was "Jewelry Everywear", but that seems a bit cumbersome for a URL.
