Definition
Plural of bijou; small, finely made pieces of jewelry or precious ornaments, using the French plural form.
Etymology
French plural form of bijou (jewel), borrowed into English and often used to maintain the sophisticated French pronunciation and spelling.
Kelly Says
English speakers who use 'bijoux' instead of 'bijous' are flexing linguistic sophistication—they're deliberately keeping the French plural to sound more refined and cosmopolitan!
