How to Calculate Zakat on Jewelry ?

There are a few conditions that you must keep in mind before calculating Zakat on your Jewelry :

If half of your jewelry contains varieties of precious metals, and the rest half contains gold or silver then you are required to pay Zakat only for the gold or silver.
Always weigh the gold, silver or other precious metals separately to get the correct measurement.
You are permitted to give your Zakat for jewelry in actual gold or silver. If your jewelry contains 100 gram of gold then you are required to give 2.5 grams from it as Zakat.
You are not required to pay Zakat on diamonds, gemstones, pearls, etc as they are exempt from Zakat.
Make sure to visit a jeweler, to get the approximate weight of gold if your jewelry contains a mixture of other metals as well. Your jeweler can tell you the approximate weight of the other metals without even removing them.

Now that, You have Followed all the Conditions, Use this Formula to Calculate Your Zakat :

Total weight of Gold-weight of the stones X price of gold X 2.5%

You may consider this example for a better understanding :

For instance, your jewelry contains 100 grams of gold. So, you will be giving Zakat on the market value of 2.5 grams of gold. If the market value of gold is $37 per gram then you will have to pay $92.5 (2.5×37) as Zakat.
