[diamondseeker2006]

I found a helpful pronunciation guide for those of us who have never even heard some of these brand names pronounced aloud:

Cool diamondseeker, thank you!

Wow, despite knowing a bit of French, I sadly failed the pronunciation test on several!

Thankfully, the ones I know are the ones I'm most interested in. I bet DH would know these, I should test him. DD would do well on the French too, as she's bilingual. A simple one that threw me was Bedat, although it does follow the rules. Doh on me!

It''s fine not to know when we''re looking online, but it is sort of necessary to know how to say them when shopping at real jewelry stores! I took French years ago, so I had many of them close, but this helped me a lot, too!

don''t worry, most of the salesperson can''t pronounce them correctly either.
