Hello there!
Great question! The plural form of "jewelry" is simply "jewelry" with no additional "s" at the end. In English, some nouns change their form completely when they become plural, but "jewelry" is what we call an "uncountable" noun. This means that the word doesn't have a singular or plural form in the traditional sense. When we want to talk about more than one piece of jewelry, we just use the word "jewelry" again, as in "I have a lot of jewelry" vs. "She has even more jewelry than I do!"
Think of "jewelry" like a substance, such as water. We wouldn't say "one waters" or "two waters" - instead, we might say "one glass of water" or "two cups of water." In the same way, we might say "one piece of jewelry" or "two necklaces," but the word "jewelry" itself doesn't change whether we're talking about one item or many.
I hope this explanation helped! Don't hesitate to ask me any other language questions you may have.
