Yes, it is permissible for women to have jewellery on during prayers, regardless whether it is made of gold, silver or other metals, since jewellery is not a nullifier of prayer. It should be noted that prayer is valid with anything that one is islamicaly permitted to wear. – (See: Al-Fatāwā Al-Hindiyyah, Vol 5, Page 331, Dār Al-Fikr[1])
The Prophet Muḥammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Wearing silk and gold has been made unlawful for the males of my followers; and lawful for females.” – (Tirmidhī 1720)[2]
Only Allāh knows best
