    I don't know any real jeweler jokes, but I know a potter joke with a
    jeweler in it...  I suppose you could switch it around, but as a
    potter way before I was a jeweler, I like it as I heard it. Here
    goes: 

    As coincidence would have it, three people ended up sharing a lotto
    win, and they turned out to be a painter, a jeweler and a potter.
    This got press attention, and they were lined up and asked what they
    planned to do with the money. The painter said, " I think I'll go to
    Paris, live on the Left Bank, and spend my days in the Louvre. I
    won't leave until I can take away with me the secrets of the Old
    Masters." The jeweler said, "Well, there's a piece I've had in mind
    to make almost since I became a jeweler, thirty years ago, but it
    requires the exact right opal. I've never been able to find that
    perfect stone, so I think I'll go to Australia, to the opal fields,
    and dig for it myself, until I have found the opal I've dreamt of to
    make my masterpiece". Then they asked the potter, how did he plan to
    use his millions. He said, "Oh, I think I'll just keep doing art
    fairs til it runs out".
