The gold in this piece is worth AED 4,470.63 at the international price — you pay 11% more (making charges and VAT).

International price in dirhams (no import duty on gold). An estimate, not a quote: shops set their own rates and charges.

How the price is worked out

  1. Net gold weight = gross weight − stone weight.
  2. Gold value = net weight × the gold rate for the karat (24K = 100.0%, 22K = 91.6%, 21K = 87.5%, 18K = 75.0% of the 24K rate).
  3. Making charges as a percentage of the gold value, per gram, or a fixed amount.
  4. Stones are charged separately — never at the gold rate.
  5. VAT of 5% on the total.

When you sell jewellery back, shops pay for the gold content only — usually at a discount to the day's rate — so making charges and VAT are not recovered. Plain, high-karat pieces and bullion coins lose the least.

Gold Jewellery Price in the UAE: FAQ

How is the price of gold jewellery calculated in Dubai?

Price = (gold weight × gold rate for the karat) + making charges + stones, plus 5% VAT. Gold rates in Dubai follow the international price closely; making charges are set by each shop and are usually quoted per gram.

What is today's 22K gold rate in the UAE?

About AED 447.06 per gram for 22K and AED 488.06 per gram for 24K, as of Oct 21, 2026, 20:29 UTC (international price in dirhams (no import duty on gold)). The calculator starts with these rates; replace them with your jeweller's rate if it differs.

Is VAT charged on making charges in the UAE?

Yes. VAT of 5% is charged on the full price of the jewellery — the gold, the making charges and any stones. Investment gold (bars and coins of 99% purity or more) is treated differently: it is generally zero-rated, so ask for a VAT-free invoice when buying bullion.

Can tourists get the VAT back?

Yes. Visitors can reclaim the 5% VAT on jewellery when they leave the UAE through the tax-free shopping scheme at the airport, minus a processing fee. Ask the shop to register the purchase for a tax refund when you pay.

Are making charges negotiable in Dubai?

Often, yes — particularly in the Gold Souk and on plain designs. Shops also run promotions with reduced or zero making charges on selected pieces. The gold itself is priced at the day's rate, so negotiation is about the making charge.
