Jewel is far better. Tori is okay but I like it better as a nickname.

Jewel I suppose. It's the name of a major grocery store here so it feels very…artificial? I prefer Jules.

Just going by people I know with these names, Jewel; she was lovely, but the Tori was a cow.

Not keen on either, but I’d choose Jewel. I’ve never met one and I think it would be cool, and Tori is too nickname-y.

Jewel, because why not. It's basically like Julie and Crystal, and those sound nice. Tori would be too self-referential.

I'd reject them both, out of hand. Between Victoria and Juliet, I'd take Victoria as a fn and Juliet as a mn: Victoria has good nns but all the Jul- names are stuck with Jules, Julie and, yes, Jewel.

Tori. I don't care for Jewel whatsoever. Tori is just more "name-like"

I think Tori. Although it's not my fave, I am starting to rediscover my interest in names that end in "I" (makes me feel 13 again, that sort of thing used to be my jam). I get the feeling that I could really warm up to Tori, given enough time.

Jewel is pretty but I think it has the same issue as Jules - it doesn't roll off the tongue for me.

I think that I’d go with Jewel, because it’s such a unique, meaningful name. Though, I also do like Tori; I’d prefer Victoria or Toria over both Jewel and Tori.

Really neither but Tori if I had to choose. Jewel feels to 90s after the singer.
