jewelling
Embedding precious stones
Jewelling is the practice of setting jewels or gemstones into a surface, or decorating something with jewels.
In watchmaking, jewelling refers to fitting tiny synthetic rubies or sapphires into a movement to reduce friction at pivot points: The watch features seventeen-jewel jewelling.
The spelling jeweling is standard in American English.
