Henri M, those examples are all fine and I am well aware of the French terms. Historical names are of course wonderful and I am the first to appreciate their use, for items that still warrant the use of the historical French name over the English counterpart - devant de corsage, collier de chien, etc. However, nobody calls a simple necklace a "collier", nor brooches "broche", as far as I am concerned. By the way, for your information, I am French (among others) and I live in Paris. --Previous Message-- : See some examples from the English catalogue : and I rest my case. : And the first item shows a stunning sautoir, : eh.... excusez-moi, a long or beaded : necklace, is 'just' less than € 15.000,-- : : A sapphire and diamond sautoir : : : http://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2013/magnificent-jewels-n09054/lot.53.html : : Demi-Parure "Tutti Frutti" : Cartier from the late Günther Sachs: : : http://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2013/magnificent-jewels-ge1305/lot.337.html : : A diamond rivière "property of a : lady of title": : : http://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2013/magnificent-jewels-ge1305/lot.365.html : : Sapphire and diamond Devant de Corsage : "property of a Countess": : : http://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2013/magnificent-jewels-and-noble-jewels-ge1302/lot.373.html : : A diamond Diadem "from the : collection of the family of Baron : Hottinger": : : http://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2013/magnificent-jewels-ge1305/lot.350.html : : : : : : :
