Is this sentence gramatically correct?
I always have problems with this:
“Ultimately, he gouges his eyes out with Jacosta, his wife and mother’s, broaches. ”
Is it correct to only add the ‘s to the end of ‘mother’, or should it be in front of ‘Jacosta’ and/or ‘wife’ as well? Or am I just completely incorrect?

“Ultimately, he gouges his eyes out with the broaches of Jacosta, his wife and mother.”
Any other way sounds awkward and incorrect.

How about:
“Ultimately, he gouges his eyes out with his wife and mother Jacosta’s broaches.”

I would recast the sentence this way:
“Ultimately, he gouges his eyes out with his wife Jacosta’s and his mother’s broaches.”

No; the apostrophe and s need to be added to both the end of “wife” and “mother.”
