Which proffesion makes more money, Jewelcrafting or enchanting?

All depends on what you do with it and what recipes you have. Both can make a lot of money. I think enchanting can make easier money because you can just DE and sell.
I got a 450 JC - no recipes at all. 353 Enchanting I just use to DE and enchant lowbie stuff.

Check your AH.
JC can make a lot of money, but not if you have several powersellers who can afford to cancel/repost and undercut you. Of course you could always make money by spamming trade and charging for cuts, but it's pocket change. On my server, two people share the JC market, they make ~20k gold per week.
Enchanting is easier, because scrolls have no deposit cost, which means all you lose by canceling/reposting is time, and not a lot of it. Don't DE and sell mats, don't enchant for tips, that's pocket change. Buy mats, make scrolls, get rich.
Whichever profession you choose, know your stuff. Know your server, its population. If it's a high-end PvE progression server, don't bother with any cut/enchant that is not BiS. If morons abound, learn what kind of shiny useless crap morons like, etc.
Moar tips : log on at odd times, check the AH regularly. If you see someone often posting large batches of mats for cheap, they are a farmer. Friend them and run to the AH when you see them log on. You will make money by undercutting your competition, and you can afford to do that if you get your mats for cheaper than they do.
Buy mats only when they are cheap, and buy a lot. Don't be afraid to overstock, the new expansion is not there yet.

If you think enchanters only make money by selling materials I think you mis-understand enchanting as a Profession.
Just saying it's really easy to make money by DE'ing the gear you get from your travels. Similar to JC and prospecting, assuming you have mining with it.
My enchanter is mostly a bank so I just DE stuff I get. I actually unlined/bold my main point. Anyone can get BoE greens and stuff to DE. You don't need to mine or buy from the AH to get your prospects. No need for scrolls, advertising, waiting for anyone to come to you for enchants. DE and AH.

I forgot about Vellums until you said that. I actually deleted everything on my chanter and finally got around to remaking the runed rod.
