Live 18K gold rate in Dubai
The table above shows the 18 carat gold rate in Dubai today. It is quoted in AED per gram, tola and ounce. Dubai reads the same national metal benchmark.
18K is 75% pure and stamped 750. It is the karat of choice for diamond and designer pieces. Dubai stocks more of it than any other emirate.
Dubai’s 18K and diamond trade
Dubai is a global centre for diamond jewellery. Nearly all of that stock is set in 18K. The alloy holds stones securely through daily wear.
The Gold and Diamond Park on Sheikh Zayed Road specialises in this work. Mall showrooms carry international designer brands. Both sit well above souk making charges.
Why designers pick 18K
European luxury houses use 18K as their standard. It suits white and rose finishes as well as yellow. Colour comes from the alloy, not from any change in gold content.
18K also machines and polishes cleanly. Fine engraving survives on it far better than on 22K. That is why detailed modern designs use it.
Making charges on 18K in Dubai
The metal is only part of an 18K price tag. Design work, stones and brand all add cost. On a diamond piece, the stones can exceed the gold value entirely.
Ask for the gold weight and the stone value separately. Then test the gold portion with our making charge calculator. The Dubai rate page covers every karat.
Buying and reselling
Keep the certificate for any diamond piece you buy. It records carat, clarity and setting. Resale value depends heavily on that paperwork.
On resale, gold buyers pay for the 75% metal content only. Stones are valued separately by a specialist, if at all. See our used gold price page for how buyback works.
