The stolen property had been taken during a break-in at a business in Yackandandah on February 8.
While police couldn’t link Rhiannon Miles to the burglary, she was charged with handling stolen goods after the property was discovered at her London Road home on Wednesday.
The jewellery included pendants, watches and other items.
Police, who were acting on a tip-off, also found 32 Suboxone tablets, marijuana, a 1.5-metre long sword, a Taser and knuckle dusters.
Lawyer Mario Vaccaro said his client’s life had hit trouble two or three years ago when she started smoking ice.
He suggested a fine, but magistrate Peter Dunn held his arms wide apart and said "you're at Marvel Stadium, I'm at the MCG".
"It's a matter where there's no alternative but prison," he said, before imposing the four-month term.
