As for jewelry intended for personal use, there is no zakat on it according to the majority of scholars. However, some scholars obligate zakat on it unconditionally, and this is more cautious. The amount of zakat is a quarter of a tenth (2.5%), and it is permissible to pay its value. There is no zakat on what was sold before the year passed.
