<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 9566976, member: 2844&quot;]You are confusing ajour with à jour. If you check my posts, I call it by the proper name, ajour, not à jour.</p><p><br /></p><p>As you would expect when you search for à jour instead of ajour.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>But remember, ebay is not known for correct usage of terms or names.</p><p>For example, when I search for turquoise, I also use search terms turquis, turques, torques, torquis. They all yield results, but that doesn&#039;t mean they are correct.</p><p><br /></p><p>They should know better.</p><p><br /></p><p>Light has to be able to show through somewhere. In the case of this ring, the light can come in from the sides.</p><p><br /></p><p>Gree is part of the term, but granules aren&#039;t always used, as I explained before.</p><p><br /></p><p>An ancient Latin term and a much later French term originate from two different languages, periods, and traditions. As a consequence, the use and meanings given to them are different.</p><p>There is no blueprint for cultures and languages. Terms, languages, periods and traditions can never be compared one on one, whatever discipline you are talking about.</p><p><br /></p><p>Depends on the type of casting, for instance die cast is one, lost wax another.</p><p><br /></p><p>As I said before, à jour isn&#039;t the term for this type of work, it is ajour.</p><p>Milgrain is a type of decoration, it does not a apply to the construction.</p><p>Besides, the presence of real granules on a piece does not make it filigree. For instance, the ring below is decorated with granules, but no one would call it filigree, it is called granulated:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]458943[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Very likely. But we don&#039;t have to run with them, here on Antiquers.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /> Let&#039;s try and use the correct terms. We all come here to learn, and it is good if we can also pass it on as correctly as we are able to.</p><p><br /></p><p>Perfect, and I know you have learned a lot already.</p><p>I also keep studying.
