Calculating Zakat on your jewellery is often seen as being complicated and can leave people confused.  This is mainly due to a lack of concise and clear information on the subject.

If your jewellery is made up of a mixture of metals you are only required to pay Zakat if half or more of them are gold or silver. 

It is permissible to give actual gold and silver in Zakat.  For example, if someone has gold jewellery that weighs 100 grams, they can give 2.5 grams of gold as Zakat on the jewellery.  Any gold and silver that you have should be weighed separately.

If there are diamonds, gemstones, pearls etc, set within your gold or silver jewellery and you need to find out the weight of the precious metal - the best way to do this is to take your jewellery items to a professional jeweller.  A professional jeweller will have the knowledge and experience required to assess the weight and quality of the gems and will be able to give you the best approximate weight of the stones without having to remove them from the jewellery.

It is also permissible to pay Zakat in cash. This is done by giving the market value of 2.5% of the weight of the jewellery in Zakat.
