The answer

Gold designated for ornamentation is not subject to zakat, according to the majority of scholars, whether it is owned by you or your wife. However, it is more cautious to pay zakat on it if it reaches the nisab (approximately 85 grams of pure gold), to avoid the differing opinion of those who obligated zakat on jewelry, which is the view of the Hanafis and the preferred opinion of some contemporary scholars.
