ANSWER:
If the jewelry reaches the nisab (threshold) or exceeds it, you must give zakat on it every year, whether by using your cash or by selling parts of it if you don’t have cash.
Failing to do so would admit you to hellfire where the same jewelry you are refusing to sell would be used to torment you and burn you in hell as mentioned in the Quran in Surah 9
