jewelleryjewelryn.

Brit.

/ˈdʒuː(ə)lri/, U.S.

/ˈdʒu(ə)lri/

Forms: Middle English juelrye, 1500s iewelrye, 1600s iewellrie, 1600s iewelrie, 1600s iewelry, 1600s– jewellery, 1600s– jewelry (now chiefly U.S.); also Scottish pre-1700 iowalre, pre-1700 jeualrie, pre-1700 jewalrie, pre-1700 jowelry, 1900s jowlry.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: jewel n., -ry suffix; jeweller n., -y suffix³.

Etymology: Originally < jewel n. + -ry suffix. In later use also partly < jeweller n. + -y suffix³ (compare -ery suffix).Compare Middle French juelerye (1434; French joaillerie). Jewellery is now the usual form in British use, jewelry in U.S. use. A British pronunciation /ˈdʒuːləri/ is also sometimes heard, but is widely considered nonstandard and is criticized in many usage guides. As regards earlier usage, N.E.D. (1901) comments: ‘In commercial use commonly spelt jewellery; the form jewelry is more rhetorical and poetic, and unassociated with the jeweller. But the pronunciation with three syllables is usual even with the former spelling.’

a. Jewels or valuable objects (typically made using gold, silver, or precious stones) considered collectively; items of the sort produced or sold by a jeweller; spec. objects of this sort used as personal adornments; (now usually) decorative items worn on the body such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, etc. (whether or not made of precious metals or gemstones).
