State law regarding the division of personal property in a divorce varies. Typically, if something is a gift, it is possessed only by that spouse, and therefore each would keep their wedding rings and any jewelry given to each other as gifts.
Otherwise, it is subject to equitable (not equal, but fair) division between the parties. In most cases, the spouses reach an agreement about the division of personal property without relying on the court. Since jewelry is an item, like clothing, that is typically possessed by only one person, it is common that the person who possessed it would retain it. However, in the case of particularly valuable jewelry, it may be necessary to offset the value by awarding some other valuable possession to the other party.
Like all divorce law, the division of assets is very fact specific and depends heavily on state law.

In a divorce, jewelry can be divided by either reaching a mutual agreement on who gets which pieces, or by appraising the value of the jewelry and dividing it fairly. Couples may also choose to sell the jewelry and split the proceeds. It's advisable to consult with a legal professional to ensure a fair and legally binding division.

If you live in a community state, it can be done 2 different ways. Either have each party choose the pieces they desire and split the rest or sell the entire collection and split the money. I suggest the first option.

It depends on the law of your state. In Texas, all property is presumed to be community property, unless you can show by clear and convincing evidence that it is separate.
