22K gold specifications
22K gold is 91.6% pure gold and 8.4% other metals such as copper and silver for strength. It has a rich yellow colour close to 24K but is noticeably more durable. It is popular in Gulf and Indian jewellery, and used for well-known coins such as the British sovereign.
How the 22K gram price is calculated
22K gram price = 24K gram price × 22 ÷ 24 (about 91.6% pure gold). At current prices one gram of 24K is 480.81 AED, so a gram of 22K costs 440.74 AED and a tola (11.66 g) costs 5,140.71 AED.
These are raw gold prices; jewellery adds a making charge and VAT.
Tips for buying 22K gold
- Look for the 916 or 22K hallmark on the piece.
- 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.
