Zakat on Diamond-Studded Gold

Question
How is the zakat on gold calculated if it is studded with diamonds? Is the total weight of the piece considered, or is it calculated based on pure gold? As for the zakat on silver, I have a complete set of silver spoons and forks. Is zakat obligatory on them, knowing that if I offer them for sale, they do not fetch any price at all, and using them for eating is forbidden?
Answer

I say, and with God's success: Zakat is due only on pure gold, and as for silver, its weight must be known in order to fulfill its zakat along with other wealth, and God knows best.
