<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 9431518, member: 2844&quot;]Ah, thanks, that could be it. There is a slight difference between the traditions of Nîmes and Arles, both important towns in the region.</p><p>I am more familiar with the costume and jewellery of Arles and surrounding area. I used to go there every year, sometimes twice.</p><p>I did notice that whereas most Arlesiennes wear the folded fichu or kerchief (with cigalle brooch<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />), in Nîmes they prefer the pelerine, which in Provençal tradition is made of ruffles of lace etc. This is not a black and white thing, pelerines are also worn in Arles, and fichus also in Nîmes. It is just my observation of a possible preference.</p><p>Maybe a bar brooch contrasts better with the frilly pelerine, although I have never seen it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope you find the link with the name of the factory.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nice, isn&#039;t it.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> It is a bit more in depth when it comes to Arles than the Bijoux Regionaux site you, kyra, and I use a lot.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
