"It's kind of a joke," said the artist, Temple native Susan Domelsmith of Brooklyn, N.Y., promising that there's nothing X-rated about the pieces she designs.

"I had a friend who worked at a record store, and he had a crush on me," she said, giggling as she explained. "That was his secret pet name for me. I wore glasses and always had my hair in a bun."

She learned about the term of endearment through a bit of gossip with a mutual friend.

"Once I found out, he go so embarrassed," Miss Domelsmith said. "I teased him and teased him. It's a great memory."

No romantic relationship came from the interlude, but the 1998 Temple High School graduate didn't have to think twice when it came time for her to develop a brand for her jewelry.
