The answer

Expenditure on children is based on their needs, and fairness is not obligatory in it. So, if the schooling of one child costs a greater amount, the other child is not required to be given an amount equal to that excess. As for jewelry prepared for use, is not obligatory on it according to the majority of scholars.
