You ever notice how similar the words "jewery" and "jewelry" are?

I also noseticed that, but as it turns out, it's not a cohencidence, but in fact an actual coincidence. The word that eventually became "jewel" in English, I think came from Norman French and had a somewhat different spelling, which was not similar to "jew" or "jude" or anything like that, and had nothing to do with jews. Someone can feel free to correct me on the details as I'm too lazy to look this up again.
