Common mistakes
She bought a beautiful jeweler at the mall.She bought beautiful jewelry at the mall.
jeweler 指‘珠宝商’（人），而 jewelry 是不可数名词‘珠宝/首饰’；汉语的‘珠宝’不区分人和物，导致误用。要表示所买的东西只能用 jewelry，且它不可数，前面不加 a。
We went to a jeweler shop to buy a ring.We went to a jewelry shop to buy a ring.
在复合名词中，修饰 shop 的应该是珠宝（jewelry），而不是指人的 jeweler（珠宝商）。汉语‘珠宝店’逐字直译成 jeweler shop，英语惯用 jewelry shop 或 jewelry store。
