18K gold specifications
18K gold is 75% pure gold and 25% other metals. It has greater hardness and comes in yellow, white and rose colours depending on the alloy. It is preferred for diamond and gem-set jewellery and watches because it holds stones securely.
How the 18K gram price is calculated
18K gram price = 24K gram price × 18 ÷ 24 (about 75.0% pure gold). At current prices one gram of 24K is 480.81 AED, so a gram of 18K costs 360.61 AED and a tola (11.66 g) costs 4,206.03 AED.
These are raw gold prices; jewellery adds a making charge and VAT.
Tips for buying 18K gold
- The usual hallmark is 750 or 18K; most white gold is 18K.
- Ask for an invoice showing weight, karat, price per gram, making charge and any tax.
- Gold jewellery in the UAE is subject to 5% VAT, while investment bars and coins of 99% purity or more are zero-rated.
- Compare making charges between shops — they drive most of the difference in final prices.
