jewel translates to gioiello, gioia, NOT Giulia.  As you said, Giulia and
Giulietta translates into English as Julie or Juliette (french?) (from
Harrap's Italian Dictionary)
That's not to say that most Giuliettas are not *little jewels* :-))

       Giulietta was the name of one of Nicola Romeo's daughters.  It
translates as "little jewel."  Giulia is jewel or Julie in english.  <snip>
