Pick a spelling and stick with it

Sign at Pottery Barn, Granville Stret, Vancouver
The Canadian spelling of the word is "jewellery". The American spelling is "jewelry". This one is neither fish nor fowl.

Canadians do appreciate when American retailers make the effort to adopt the local standards, but a dictionary might help. (Again, I know I'm being pedantic, but it is a genetic problem.)
