BTW, there is a Spanish brand of jewellery that I love (some people hate it because they think it is very posh). Their most representative piece is a bear. The brand name is Tous.

I suspect this is from the French word bijou

I would say so yes....

In fact in French there's even the word 'bijouterie'.

Verdad..

Bueno en holandés existe la palabra 'bijouterie' también, son 'accesoires'. Es decir no son verdaderas joyas ni joyas falsas ('props').

Son 'adornos', que valen muy pocos en general. Small 'trinkets' (¿baratija?).

Bueno, no es que sean falsas, pero son de imitación. Anillos, pulseras y cadens con un baño de oro, en lugar de oro macizo; pendientes con circonita, en lugar de un brillante, etc. Vamos, "un quiero y no puedo"
