is obligatory on jewelry prepared for personal use if it reaches the and a year has passed over it. Zakat is due only on gold and silver, not on the gems and jewels embedded in them, such as diamonds, because zakat is not obligatory on them unless they are for trade. The weight of pure gold in the jewelry is estimated, and if it reaches the nisab (92 grams), then zakat of one-quarter of one-tenth (2.5%) is obligatory on it annually. However, if the jewelry is for trade, then zakat is obligatory on the entire jewelry, including its stones, according to its value.
