Dubai’s bridal and 916 market
Dubai draws wedding shoppers from across the region. Full 22K bridal sets are a signature of the trade. Buyers value the deep gold colour and trusted 916 stamp.
Meena Bazaar in Bur Dubai is known for 22K jewellery. The Deira Gold Souk offers heavier traditional sets. Both quote the same metal rate but different making charges.

22K, 24K and price per tola
Shoppers often compare 22K with pure 24K before buying. 24K holds more value but bends too easily for daily wear. 22K is the practical pick for worn jewellery.
Dubai shops still quote heavy pieces by the tola. One tola is close to 11.66 grams. See the full Dubai gold rate page for every unit and karat.
