Also, when did the trend of naming pieces of jewelry begin? I love it. I did a little bit of jewelry making when I was younger, but gave it up partly because I didn't feel like selecting sets of things (beads) to go together was very interesting. The whole naming-jewelry thing makes me aware that selecting sets of things and putting them all in a row is poetry, and it doesn't matter that one uses beads instead of words.

(by that logic, are three-bead earrings a haiku?)
