@daliu_771 Maybe the jewels were on the gown.. technically, “She was dressed in an evening gown and jewelry” would be correct, but in this case it is fine to say jewels

@daliu_771 “Dressed in” is going to imply a full outfit..
I’d recommend saying “She was wearing jewelry.”

@daliu_771 Jewelry is necklaces, bracelets, earrings etc
Jewels are precious stones that can sometimes go in jewelry. So for example, if some has a diamond engagement ring, the diamond is the jewel, but the ring is the jewelry.

@Estherana, thanks again, I am so confused that I see the example in learnersdictionary.com : "she was dressed in an evening gown and jewels", why "jewelry" isn't used in this sentence?
