The of the majority of scholars is that jewelry prepared for permissible use is not subject to at all. As long as this jewelry is prepared for use, there is no zakat on it, even if it is not used. Therefore, a woman is not obliged to pay zakat on any of her jewelry for any of the past years. However, if she wishes to pay zakat on this gold for the past years as a precautionary measure, she may do so.
