Jewelry is neither male  or female.  It is an object with no gender.

 

 


No. These are feminine:

  • une boucle d’oreille (earring)
  • une broche (brooch)
  • une épingle (pin)
  • une bague (ring)
  • une montre (watch)

These are masculine

  • un bracelet (bracelet)
  • un collier (necklace)
  • un pendentif (pendant)

Re: Judith Jewelry - Wrong is Wrong

Seems silly to get so worked up over one incorrect vowel. Perhaps you should request that QVC make a public statement and acknowledge their lazy stupidity when it come to the use of articles in the French language.

So there is a new line of Judith jewelry; I noticed that a new bracelet, earring, necklace, and ring was presented inspired by the sea called "Le Mer."  Wrong.  In French the sea is LA Mer (feminine) not LE Mer.  This is just lazy and stupid.  If you want to speak French please do it properly. 


@Bubby Mommy  When in France, we'll worry around getting French words correct.  In the meantime, I doubt this is a matter of great concern or importance.  Nobody is attempting to speak the language; It's just a title.
