What is 22K gold?
22 karat gold contains 91.6% pure gold alloyed with 8.4% harder metals (typically copper, silver, or zinc) for durability. It carries a 916 fineness stamp and is the dominant choice for UAE jewelry — especially for bridal sets, traditional Indian designs, and gifting.
22K offers a strong balance between purity, color richness, and wearability, which is why it dominates the Dubai Gold Souk.
How much should 22K jewelry cost?
A 22K piece is priced by multiplying its weight in grams by the live 22K rate above, then adding making charges (مصنعية). Making charges typically range from AED 10-80 per gram for machine-made pieces and can go much higher for handmade or designer work. VAT at 5% is applied on top of the making charge — not on the underlying gold value, which is zero-rated for investment-grade gold.
