Yes it will be taxable as per normal provisions. And to find out how to calculate the cost of a capital asset, better read out the law or google it out.

Yes ,it will attract capital gain tax depending upon your period of holding.if you held the jewellery for more than 36 months, if you sell now it would give rise to only income from 'Long Term Capital Gains'.
