I'm trying to name my jewelry making business and someone suggested a Gaelic term since my heritage is Irish.

Seodra = Show-druh 'Jewel'
Seodóir = Show-dorr 'Jeweller'
Seodóireacht = Show-dorr-uhcht 'Jewellery (business).
/ch/ is a gutteral sound like German auch or Scottish loch. In some northern Irish dialects it has changed to /r/ and /h/ so Seodóireacht would sound like Show-dorr-utt.
Hope that helps.
