My name is Penelope and I want to start selling Mexican Jewellery in Australia, would the business name "Las Joyas, Penelope" make sense?

I plugged Penelope's jewellery into a translator and got "Joyas de Penélope" What do you think or that? - penladd, FEB 16, 2010

I'm not native but I think "Las joyas de Penelope" would certainly make more sense.

Yes, very nice: "Las joyas de Penélope"... - Carlos-F, FEB 16, 2010
Carlos, a person below said that people will expect that I sell jemstones if I use the word "Joyas", can this work also mean silver jewelry - penladd, FEB 17, 2010
work=word - sorry about the typo - penladd, FEB 17, 2010

aside: also spelled jewelry
joyería=jewelry or jeweler's shop
If you use joyas, don't be surprised if people come in looking for gemstones, rather than jewelry.

Hi, FYI - I'm Australian, and we use Brittish English, therefore "Jewellery" is correct spelling. If you speak US English then "Jewelry" would be correct. There are lots of examples in English like this eg "color" (US) "colour" (UK). - penladd, FEB 17, 2010

It's a nice name, it makes some sense if not total sense but it a business name so almost anything goes. Does it make you happy? If so stick with it. Actually I would ditch the comma.
