There is no on jewelry prepared for adornment according to the majority of scholars. If you believed in this view, then later became convinced of the obligation of zakat, you are not required to pay zakat for past years, but rather for the coming years. However, if you neglected to pay zakat due to negligence, then you are required to pay zakat for the past years. You may sell the gold belt to pay the zakat from its price or from other sources.
