Jewellery

In the Fox News story, Lawyer, Wife Accused of Duping British Prince Out of $23 Million, it said "One of Britain’s highest earning barristers and his wife have been accused of swindling millions of dollars from the Sultan of Brunei’s brother. Thomas Derbyshire and Faith Zaman are said to have plundered Prince Jefri’s fortune to buy themselves two California beach homes, $30,000 worth of jewellery in a day, $33,000 of furniture and $2,800 of electronic appliances. Derbyshire, aged in his 40s, is an expert specialising in the fields of fraud and money laundering."

I highlighted jewellery thinking "Oh what a great mistake!" But before writing to Fox, I consulted Merriam-Webster online and saw this entry:

jewellery

One entry found for jewellery.

Main Entry: jew·el·lery
chiefly British variant of JEWELRY

Well, what do you know?
