Scholars have differed regarding on permissible jewelry prepared for adornment. The preponderant opinion is that zakat is not obligatory on it. However, if the jewelry is for trade, or is uncrafted, or for impermissible use (such as gold vessels), then zakat of 2.5% is obligatory on it annually, and it must be given in the place where it becomes due.
