Is it permissible to pay Zakat on jewelry based on estimation without weighing it?

There is no harm in giving on jewelry without weighing it if the Muslim is certain that he has given the obligatory amount, as what is required is to clear oneself of the obligation. If the amount given is less than what is obligatory, based on an assumption, then it is obligatory to complete the zakat. It is permissible to increase the amount of the obligatory zakat with the intention that the excess is a voluntary charity.
