What is the difference between jewels and jewellers?
1 Answer

The difference between jewels and jewellers comes down to what the terms refer to. Also called gems, jewels are precious stones used to produce jewelry and decorative objects. Examples of jewels include diamonds, rubies and emeralds. Jewellers are people who sell jewelry or make jewelry using jewels, precious metals and other materials. The term jewellers is actually the British spelling. In the U.S., you will usually see the term spelled "jewelers." Explore a large collection of jewelry on 1stDibs.
