How today’s rate sets our jewellery prices
Every piece is priced from this page, live. Same formula for a ring or a necklace — and nothing hidden at checkout:
Understanding gold purity: 24K to 14K
Karat is the share of pure gold in the alloy: 24 parts is pure. The lower the karat, the harder the metal — and the lower the price per gram.
| Karat | Purity | Gold % | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 24K | 99.9% | Bars, coins, investment | |
| 22K | 91.7% | The classic Gulf jewellery gold | |
| 21K | 87.5% | Popular in the Gulf and Egypt | |
| 18K | 75.0% | Daily-wear rings; white and rose gold | |
| 14K | 58.3% | The everyday standard in the USA and UK |
Why the UAE quotes gold per gram
Dubai’s gold market prices by the gram and quotes each karat separately — the number in a Deira shop window is the 22K or 24K rate per gram in dirhams. World markets quote the troy ounce in US dollars; because the dirham is pegged to the dollar, the two move together. The World Gold Council publishes the reference prices most traders watch.
3 tips for buying gold in the UAE
Check the rate first
The rate moves through the day with the world market. Compare the per-gram number, not the total.
Look at the making charge
The metal price is the same everywhere; the making charge is where shops differ. Ours is on every product page.
Keep a proper receipt
Weight in grams, karat, the day’s rate and the making charge, each separately — for resale, exchange or insurance.
Common questions
Is the gold rate the same across the UAE?
The spot price is the same everywhere; what differs is the small premium each shop adds and the making charge. Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah retailers quote the same base rate per gram and compete on making charges.
How often is this page updated?
The cards refresh every two minutes from the international spot price while the page is open, converted at the dirham’s fixed peg of 3.6725 to the US dollar. Our jewellery prices are re-calculated from the same source every morning.
How does the gold rate change your jewellery prices?
Every gold or silver piece is priced live: metal weight × today’s rate for its karat, plus a fixed making charge, the stone, and our margin. When gold moves, prices on the site move with it the same morning.
Which karat should I choose for daily wear?
18K is harder and holds stones better, so it suits rings and bracelets you wear every day. 22K and 21K are softer and richer in colour — for necklaces, earrings and occasion pieces.
What is the difference between 999 and 925 silver?
999 is pure silver, too soft for most jewellery. 925 — sterling — is 92.5% silver alloyed for strength, and is what our silver pieces are made from.
Do you sell gold bars or coins?
No. We sell natural gemstones and handcrafted jewellery. The rates are published so you can check exactly how our jewellery is priced.
Rates are the international spot price converted at the UAE dirham’s fixed peg (AED 3.6725 = USD 1) plus the usual Dubai market premium, rounded to 0.25 AED the way the rate boards do — published for information and to make our pricing transparent. Shops add making charges and VAT where applicable; this is not investment advice.
