How is Zakat assessed if the jewelry is intended for trade?
Chapter on Zakat on Gold and Silver

Book of Zakat
Primary text
If the jewelry is held for trade purposes, its value must be assessed including the embedded jewels. This ruling is established because if the jewels themselves were held solely for trade, they would be valued and Zakat would be due upon them. Consequently, they must be included when assessing the value of trade jewelry.
