Joyería refers both to the shop (una joyería, a jeweller's) and, less commonly, to jewellery as a collective. The person who makes or sells jewellery is a joyero (m) or joyera (f). Do not confuse with bisutería, which covers costume or fashion jewellery made from non-precious materials.

Examples

Natural Translation
