I think it's quite a while since Da Boyz did any category updates - they probably have more pressing things to deal with, due to the impending update?

Agreed. I wonder if the new look will include a total revamp of how the categories work, which would make any changes now fairly pointless anyway?

[JudesNiceThings]

I was wondering that!

Right.... First of all I must stress the fact that I know NOTHING about jewellery so, when in doubt I'll give you several options and you can pick the one that applies.

Ceramc > Other (Autre) Céramique
Ceramic > Polymer Clay/Fimo (????/Fimo) No Idea

Glass & Crysal > Pearl (Nacré)
I am not sure what you mean. Is it
Pearl as the noun pearl (Perle)
Pearl as the adjective iridescent (Nacré)
Pearl as the noun Mother of Pearl (Nacre -without the accent)


Metal > Sterling Silver (????Argent 925????) (Argent Massif)
Metal > Tibetan Silver (Argent Tibetain) (Tibétain)

Mixed Lots (??????????????) (Lots Mélangés ou Lots Mixtes) I prefer the second option but both are correct.

Pearl > Dyed (Teinté) (Teint) Teinté means tinted
Pearl > Synthetic (Synthetique) (Synthétique)

Rhinestone (????????????) I have looked at several French jewellery sites and they seem to use "Cubic Zirconium" a lot but I am not sure if it is the same thing

Move Shell from Bead Art and add sub-cats (?????Coquille?????)
If it is a shell like a snail, or a protection Coquille is fine.
If it's a seashell then use Coquillage
Shell > Dyed (Teinté) (Teint) see above *** Note that if you use Coquille you have to use Teinte (with a E) but with Coquillage you use Teint (no E)

Shell > Mother of Pearl/Abalone (Nacré/Abalone)
(Nacre - no accent if it is a noun - Nacré - Accent if it is an adjective *** same gender rule as above)

Shell > Natural (Naturelle) (Naturel - Coquillage is masculine **** Naturelle is fine for Coquille)

Stone > Chips (Chips) Is this chips as in small bits, like paint chips? in that case it could be Eclats
Stone > Dyed (Teinté) (Teinte - see above)
Stone > Gemstone (??????????????) (Pierre précieuse ou semi-précieuse)

Re-name Plastic as Synthetic (Synthétique) and add the following sub-cats (Synthétique)

Synthetic > Acrylic > Round (Acrylique > Ronde) (Ronde if the noun is feminine otherwise Rond - no E)


I hope this helps but if it is not clear, tell me and I'll give it another go.
