Okay here is my
Joya and Alaja are synonyms.... I have heard people use.... -Alaja when referring to a ring, watch, chain, medallion, etc. -Joya usually is referred to a precious stone or precious jewelry item. Which I think we have discussed this before, brings us to the use of.... alaja ..... alajero....for Jewelry Box joya....... joyero....for jeweler. Please remember........I am not saying that is the correct way of saying things. I am just saying this is what I have heard and have had the experience of using. Please don't kill the messenger....

Thanks, Elaina ... those distinctions are helpful!
And "joyería" for jewelry store, right?

Esas joyas/alhojas son muy ricas, pero ten cuidad, algunas son falsas. No puedas tu confianza en los ladrones que quieren robarte.

Another word: bisutería. In English it is costume jewellery.
BTW, there is a Spanish brand of jewellery that I love (some people hate it because they think it is very posh). Their most representative piece is a bear. The brand name is Tous.
