Branded chains usually charge a fixed or percentage-based making charge, with offers around Diwali, Akshaya Tritiya and wedding season. Independent shops are more open to negotiation.
Before you buy
- 1Check today's rate on this page before you go, so you know the gold value of any piece you are quoted.
- 2Ask the shop to weigh the piece in front of you and to itemise the invoice: gold value, making charge, and 5% VAT on the making charge only.
- 3Look for the purity stamp: 750 for 18K, 875 for 21K, 916 for 22K, 999 for 24K.
- 4For bridal sets, ask for the making charge per item, not only the total, so you can compare shops.
- 5Ask about the shop's exchange and buyback terms: some apply across their branches in India too.
Frequently asked questions

The base gold price is usually lower in Dubai because the UAE has no import duty or GST on gold. Check our Dubai vs India comparison in rupees, and remember the customs allowance when you fly home.
Take the Green Line to Al Fahidi or Al Ghubaiba station. From the Deira Gold Souk, cross the Creek by abra and walk through the Bur Dubai Old Souq.
Many do, especially the branded chains. Compare the price per gram with the live 24K rate; coins and bars carry a small premium rather than a jewellery making charge.
