We say “jewelry,” not “jew-le-ry.”
Don’t forget to pronounce the “l” before the “r”
without adding an extra syllable.
We should say “JEW-el-ry” or “JOOL-ry.”
NOTE: British pronunciation and spelling are different, and we may
hear some American dialects pronounce it that way, e.g., “jewellery.”
“I bought a new bracelet at the jewelry store.”
