As you climb the Jewell trail, the trail ends at the Gulfside trail a little below the top of the ridge. The Jewell trail is pointing fairly southward at this point so it's almost a merge rather than a turn. You proceed south on the Gulfside, then double back northward on the Mt Clay summit loop trail along the top of the ridge. (Or go north on Gulfside first then double back southward on the Clay summit loop, but that's a little bit longer.)

A lot of people looking to descend the Jewell trail (after climbing Ammonoosuc Ravine trail or taking the train up) fail to find the trail because they assume the Jewell trail goes all the way to the top of the ridge.
