21K gold specifications
21K gold is 87.5% pure gold and 12.5% other metals. It has a clear yellow tone and good durability for daily wear. It is the most common karat in Saudi, Gulf and Egyptian jewellery shops — bangles, chains and sets.
How the 21K gram price is calculated
21K gram price = 24K gram price × 21 ÷ 24 (about 87.5% pure gold). At current prices one gram of 24K is 480.81 AED, so a gram of 21K costs 420.71 AED and a tola (11.66 g) costs 4,907.04 AED.
These are raw gold prices; jewellery adds a making charge and VAT.
Tips for buying 21K gold
- The usual hallmark for this karat is 875 or 21K.
- 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.
