Re: moms jewelry
If it's your jewelry and you loaned it to her, she should give it back. If she doesn't, then you should send her a certified return receipt letter itemizing each of them, and demand their return by a specific date. If she then doesn't return them, you may bring a lawsuit. You should have their values estimated by a competent jewelry professional in writing before you go to court.
