I always took it literally
Even the Belly scene shows that
But listening to it today I'm thinking he meant it figuratively

Jewels/gems are slang for wisdom, tips, advice, etc. Giving someone something to think about.

I understand that

:what::snoop: Wh wha wha did Biggie mean when he said cheese eggs and welches grape... Was this fat nicca eating a jar of jelly?

Nas dropped some jewels on the lil homie, why would he drop a chain on someone?

Because in the movie he actually does
And he says he could sell it if he chose

Could be figurative or literal

It could be literal because he says "that he can sell if he chose"

But that can also be taken figuratively
