A person who makes, sells, or repairs jewelry and precious ornaments.
From Old French 'jouel' (plaything, jewel) + agent suffix '-er'. The craft evolved from medieval goldsmiths who worked with precious metals and stones for both practical and decorative purposes.
The jeweller's craft is one of humanity's oldest luxury trades, with evidence of jewelry-making dating back over 100,000 years. Interestingly, the British spelling 'jeweller' (with double 'l') differs from the American 'jeweler', reflecting different standardization periods.
