1. I have used my jewelery post type bellows code, You can just replace your post type & taxonomy. Just copy & paste on your functions file.

   <?php
   
   //Register a Jewelry post type.
   function jewelry_post_register() {
       $labels = array(
           'name'               => _x( 'Jewelries', 'post type general name', 'twentytwelve' ),
           'singular_name'      => _x( 'Jewelry', 'post type singular name', 'twentytwelve' ),
           'menu_name'          => _x( 'Jewelries', 'admin menu', 'twentytwelve' ),
           'name_admin_bar'     => _x( 'Jewelry', 'add new on admin bar', 'twentytwelve' ),
           'add_new'            => _x( 'Add New', 'Jewelry', 'twentytwelve' ),
           'add_new_item'       => __( 'Add New Jewelry', 'twentytwelve' ),
           'new_item'           => __( 'New Jewelry', 'twentytwelve' ),
           'edit_item'          => __( 'Edit Jewelry', 'twentytwelve' ),
           'view_item'          => __( 'View Jewelry', 'twentytwelve' ),
           'all_items'          => __( 'All Jewelries', 'twentytwelve' ),
           'search_items'       => __( 'Search Jewelries', 'twentytwelve' ),
           'parent_item_colon'  => __( 'Parent Jewelries:', 'twentytwelve' ),
           'not_found'          => __( 'No Jewelries found.', 'twentytwelve' ),
           'not_found_in_trash' => __( 'No Jewelries found in Trash.', 'twentytwelve' )
       );
   
       $args = array(
           'labels'             => $labels,
           'public'             => true,
           'publicly_queryable' => true,
           'show_ui'            => true,

           'hierarchical'       => false,
           'menu_position'      => null,
           'supports'           => array( 'title', 'editor', 'author', 'thumbnail', 'excerpt', 'custom-fields' )
       );
   
       register_post_type( 'jewelry', $args );
   
   }
   add_action( 'init', 'jewelry_post_register' );
   
   
   // create two taxonomies, Categories and writers for the post type "jewelry"
   function create_jewelry_taxonomies() {
       // Add new taxonomy, make it hierarchical (like categories)
       $labels = array(
           'name'              => _x( 'Jewelry Categories', 'taxonomy general name' ),
           'singular_name'     => _x( 'Jewelry Category', 'taxonomy singular name' ),
           'search_items'      => __( 'Search Jewelry Categories' ),
           'all_items'         => __( 'All Jewelry Categories' ),
           'parent_item'       => __( 'Parent Jewelry Category' ),
           'parent_item_colon' => __( 'Parent Jewelry Category:' ),
           'edit_item'         => __( 'Edit Jewelry Category' ),
           'update_item'       => __( 'Update Jewelry Category' ),
           'add_new_item'      => __( 'Add New Jewelry Category' ),
           'new_item_name'     => __( 'New Jewelry Category Name' ),
           'menu_name'         => __( 'Jewelry Category' ),
       );
   
       $args = array(
           'hierarchical'      => true,
           'labels'            => $labels,
           'show_ui'           => true,
           'show_admin_column' => true,
           'query_var'         => true,
           'rewrite'           => array( 'slug' => 'jewelry-category' ),
       );
   
       register_taxonomy( 'jewelry-category', array( 'jewelry' ), $args );
   
   }
   add_action( 'init', 'create_jewelry_taxonomies', 0 );
   
   
   
   function my_custom_template_include( $template ) {
       if ( get_query_var('post_type') == 'jewelry' ) {
   
           if ( is_single() ) {
               if ( $single = locate_template( array( 'single-jewelry.php') ) )
                   return $single;
           }
   
       }
       return $template;
   }
   
   add_filter( 'template_include', 'my_custom_template_include' );
   add_filter( 'template_include', 'insert_my_template' );
   
   function insert_my_template( $template )
   {
       if ( 'jewelry' === get_post_type() && !is_single() )
           return dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/archive-jewelry.php';
   
   
       return $template;
   }
   
   
   ?>
   

   It works nicely my site according to your question.

2. You can not name custom post_type name and taxonomy slug same because when you work on taxonomy it will work as

   example.com/articles/taxo-parent --> taxonomy.php
   
   example.com/articles/taxo-child --> taxonomy.php
   

   But for post_type articles it will go with same url

   example.com/post_type/post_in_that_post_type_slug
   

   So this make conflict in the url’s of taxonomy and post_type because initial url is same for both of them

   example.com/post_type/ = example.com/articles/
   
   example.com/taxonomy/ = example.com/articles/
   

3. You should update your permalink option after registering post type.

   Than it should work.
