Usage tips

The word is derived from 'das Juwel' (jewel, piece of jewelry). The ending '-ier' often refers to a male person who practices a certain profession, frequently in words of French origin.
EXAMPLE
Ein Juwel ist ein besonders wertvoller Edelstein.

Context clue
The verb often reveals whether the person or the shop is meant. If the person is acting, e.g. 'beraten' (to advise) or 'reparieren' (to repair), it refers to the person. If you go to a place or buy something there, it refers to the shop.
EXAMPLE

Prepositions: place & direction
To express the difference between location and direction, different prepositions and cases are used: 'zum Juwelier gehen' (to go to the jewelry store; direction, accusative) and 'beim Juwelier sein/kaufen' (to be/buy at the jewelry store; location, dative).
