French term
laiton ouvert
French to English
Other
Textiles / Clothing / Fashion

"Bracelet Louis en laiton ouvert pavé de cristaux"
so "laiton ouvert" translates as "open brass" or maybe "open copper" (?) but this just doesn't look right to me & doesn't sound very natural, it's a brochure about fashion items, bags, bracelets, etc, no more context is available......

open cuff bracelet
I think "ouvert" refers to the bracelet: it is an open cuff bracelet (see https://www.lechateau.com/style/jump/Gem Open Cuff Bracelet/... in the French and English versions) that is made of brass.

: I agree with Marco. On French jewelry websites, there are several ads for "bracelets ouverts en or" and "bracelets ouverts en argent". etc...

open brass wire work
The Collins-Robert dictionary translates "laiton" as "brass wire" as well as "brass". "Open wire work" gets plenty of results on Google; "open brass wire work" gets one (see below).
Example sentence:
The frame of the cuff is open brass wire work.

: In FR, 'open' in that kind of sense would be more likely to be 'ajouré'
