The majority of scholars do not obligate zakat on jewelry made for adornment. However, it is more cautious to pay it to avoid disagreement. It is preferable to pay zakat on jewelry when a year has passed by estimating its market value, adding cash to it, and paying zakat on the total. The reference for estimating the zakat threshold (nisab) is silver, as it is more beneficial for the poor.
