Ever found yourself Googling “jewelry” only to see it spelled “jewellery” somewhere else and wonder if you’ve been doing it wrong your whole life?
You're not alone.
Let’s break it down—because, honestly, we’re here for all the sparkle, no matter how it’s spelled.
First Things First: Both Are Right
Yes, really.
If you're in the US, it's jewelry.
If you're in the UK, India, Canada, or anywhere with British English roots, it's jewellery.
Same fabulous pieces. Two spellings. Zero need to panic.
So Why the Extra “L” and “E”?
Blame the Brits (lovingly).
“Jewellery” comes from the British spelling tradition, which tends to keep closer to French origins (hello, joaillerie).
“Jewelry” is the US version—streamlined, modern, minimalist.
It’s like baguette-cut vs. round brilliant—both gorgeous, just styled differently.
Okay Cool, But... Which One Should I Use?
Short answer: depends on who you're talking to.
Longer answer:
Running a brand or writing captions for your business?
Use “jewelry” if you're talking to a US-based audience, and “jewellery” for UK, Indian, or Aussie shoppers.
Blogging, TikTok-ing, or SEO-ing?
Mix it up. Google loves a little variety.
Just vibing with your own content?
Pick the one that feels more you. Consistency > correctness here.
Psylish Perspective 💅
At Psylish, we mostly go with “jewelry”—it’s clean, confident, and a little more aligned with our everyday diamond energy. But when we’re talking to our global fam? You might see us sprinkle in a “jewellery” here and there. Because language, like style, evolves with the moment.
