I doubt it unless it's an excessive amount. I've never had my bags checked on 16 trips to India (on the Indian side). If she owns the jewelry before she leaves the US then US Customs can't reasonably assume she's importing it from India. Indians are often covered in gold when they travel so it's not unusual.
