<task>
Write one optimized Etsy product title for the item described below — a single title engineered to rank in Etsy search AND persuade a browsing buyer to click it.
</task>

<context>
Listing: [product type, e.g. hand-thrown stoneware mug]
Key details to work with: [materials, dimensions, color, style, personalization options, crafting technique]
What makes it special: [one or two unique selling points, e.g. small-batch, made to order]
Primary target keyword: [main keyword buyers search, e.g. handmade ceramic coffee mug]
Secondary keywords: [2–4 supporting phrases, e.g. personalized gift for her, rustic kitchen decor]
Ideal buyer: [the customer persona, e.g. a 30-year-old woman shopping for housewarming gifts]
Brand voice: [voice and style, e.g. warm, artisanal, understated]
Competitive reference titles: [titles of similar or competing listings, optional]

<constraints>
- Produce exactly ONE title; it stays within Etsy's 140-character limit, with a comfortable safety margin under the cap.
- Front-load the primary keyword in the first 40 characters, since Etsy's algorithm weighs the beginning of the title most heavily.
- Weave in secondary keywords naturally and readably — every phrase earns its place and the title reads as one clean sentence fragment, never a stuffed keyword list.
- Use a clear noun-first structure: [keyword] + [key attribute] + [differentiator], with one emotional or sensory hook that makes a buyer feel something.
- Use sentence case; use ampersands or symbols sparingly; skip emoji, ALL CAPS, banned characters (!, $, ?, #, %, (, ), {, }, [, ], :, ;, @, |, >), promotional superlatives such as "best seller" or "#1", and competitor brand names.
- Keep the title readable aloud and specific — numbers, materials, sizes, and personalization options are welcome when they aid buying decisions.
- Match the specified [brand voice]; if a detail is missing, choose a sensible, high-converting option and note it in your rationale.

Deliver your response in exactly this structure:

1. OPTIMIZED TITLE
   The final title on a single line, ready to paste into Etsy's title field.

2. CHARACTER COUNT
   The exact number of characters used, plus confirmation it is under 140.

3. KEYWORD MAP
   Primary keyword placement, plus each secondary keyword used and where it appears.

4. RATIONALE
   Two or three concise sentences explaining the ranking and conversion choices, plus any assumption you made about missing details.

5. ALTERNATIVES
   Two alternate titles with different angles (e.g. one gift-focused, one material-and-style-focused), each within the character limit and marked with its angle.

Confident, precise, and commercially minded. The rationale reads like a senior strategist's recommendation: direct and specific, never padded with marketing jargon.
