What is the origin of the word jewelry?
1 Answer
The origin of the word jewelry dates back to Old French. It comes from the word “jouel,” which refers to a jewel or a cut and polished gemstone. In turn, the Old French term emerged from the Latin “jocale,” which meant "plaything." On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of antique, vintage and contemporary jewelry.
