WHERE p.id = ANY( '||array_to_string(productids,',')||') '|| filter_jewellery LOOP
EXECUTE takes a string, so you're giving it the word "productids" not the contents of the variable with that name.
You'll need to generate a string containing comma-separated values (or the array definition) and use that. -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd
