If you have received the Jewellery from your parents and grand parents, then you can easily show them in your ITR. You will have no tax liability for the gift received.
However, if you are selling the jewellery before completion of 3 years from the date of buying, then it will be added to your normal income. If you are selling after completion of 3 years, then you need to compute LTCG after indexation and pay 20% tax on gains.
