One suggested reason for the spelling change originates from the creator of Webster’s Dictionary – Mr. Noah Webster. During the 19th century, Noah Webster led a movement in America demanding the simplification of word spellings. It’s a good assumption that the words Jewellery, Jewellery boxes, jeweller, etc.
The Reality of Jewellery Boxes vs. Jewelry Boxes
When it comes down to it, no one knows the precise reason how and why Jewellery, Jewellery Box, and Jeweller evolved into Jewelry, Jewelry Box, and Jeweler in the United State. It’s one of those words that “just changed†over time. Jewellery is still considered the proper spelling in the UK and Jewelry is the official spelling in the US. As with many words, this one just changed. Whether it was Mr. Webster’s doing or some official movement to separate American culture from British culture, the end result is two different words that mean the same thing.
