Yes. On leaving the country you should declare valuables likely to be taxed on your return. If you do not do so you have to prove the item was purchased (ie in your possession) before leaving the country. If you cannot you are liable for duty. The onus is on you, unlike a court of law when you are innocent until proven guilty.

Oh yes! Fail to do so, get caught and the trouble starts.
H M Customs has plenty of experts who can value articles and they are not fools. The pieces will not have UK hall marks presumably so that would indicate that they were made abroad. If you cannot show that the piece was not bought abroad it may be detained until you can do so. If you are caught smuggling the very least that will happen is that it will be seized.
If you did buy expensive pieces in UK it would be a good idea to carry the receipt.

Yes you would have to declare it, if you go through the green channel not having done so you risk a fine & or having it confiscated. If it's gold they will be able to tell country of origin due to hallmarks. Other expensive jewelery will also have identifying things to show it's country of origin that may not be noticed by an untrained person, but customs are especially trained in this sort of thing.

Wear the jewellery through customs & post the receipt/paperwork to yourself at home. If it's worth a lot of money get it valued in your local jewellers for insurance & insure it straight away.

Want to know how to get your ex back? Change yourself. Don't worry about changing other people, worry about changing yourself. Go to https://tr.im/bKEMp
Once you do that then you can start to worry about getting back together with your ex, other wise you will find that you are fighting about all the same things and getting no where. Do what it takes and I promise things will work out in your favor.
The funny thing is I came to the realization that I had to change a little too late. After I was kicked out and after I was about to lose the only things that truly mattered to me - her love. A funny thing happens when we truly love someone and lose them. We do what ever it takes to get them back. For me I had to drop bad habits that had caused not only our relationship to sour but practically every other relationship I had had in the past. Not only with women, but with friends, co-workers, family, you name it.
Which is why I say to you as my ex at the time said to me, the only thing you can do is change yourself. Work on yourself and improve on the person that you already are. Drop the negative things in your life that don't belong there and you will see all of your relationships start to take off to new heights.

Depends how honest you are. If it was extremely expensive, you could declare it at customs, or - wear it, they can't prove you didn't buy it somewhere else.

just put in on, how the hell can they tell if you have bought it over there or if you originally went out with it! Post any paper work to your home!
