Why 18K Gold Dominates in UAE

18K is the karat of European and designer jewellery in the UAE — the Italian, French and international brands in Dubai's malls sell overwhelmingly in 18K, and it is the standard for diamond-set and gemstone jewellery, where the harder alloy holds stones securely. It is also the choice of many Western expats, who are used to 18K at home.

What 18K Gold Is Used For

Designer and diamond-set jewellery, engagement rings, and lightweight modern pieces from international brands.

How to Buy 18K Gold in UAE

18K contains 25% alloy, so it costs about 18% less per gram than 22K — but designer 18K pieces often carry high making charges, so the total price can still be steep. Check the 750 hallmark. For resale, 18K is bought back at the 18K rate, which is lower than 22K — buy 18K for the design, not as an investment.
