Jewellery designated for adornment is not subject to Zakat, according to the majority of scholars. However, if you wish to pay Zakat on it, you may do so. If you intend to pay Zakat on gold, you can calculate it based on its weight (2.5 grams for every 100 grams), or you can pay its value in money according to the current price. Money taken from children must be returned, and debt is deducted from the wealth subject to Zakat, according to the majority of scholars.
