And yes it would be fascinating to know how word "jump" managed to eventually describe a long necklace. Since I've been looking into this I also discovered that "sautoir" can also mean a copper saucepan! Thank you Colette and Constance!

You also made me think. Sautoir still means "chain", i.e. sautoir de perles, but I've never actually thought of the origin of the term before -- it comes from sauter: to jump. I wonder how it migrated to mean long necklaces. Bonjour! thank you for your invitation to see your beautiful jewelry.
