Gold Rate Today in Saudi Arabia – 24K, 22K & 21K

Find the Saudi gold reference in SAR per gram for 24K, 22K, 21K and 18K, with 10-gram values, recent charts and help comparing a jeweller’s complete offer.

21K and 22K Gold Prices in Saudi Riyals

The Saudi gold reference dated 20 Oct 2026 is SAR 435.62 per gram for 21K and SAR 456.36 for 22K. The 24K comparison is SAR 497.85 per gram. These SAR figures represent the underlying international metal value; a Saudi retailer sets its own item price.

Select the purity on the article and its gram weight to compare a necklace, bangle or bar. Ten grams means ten grams of the chosen gold alloy. If stones or other materials contribute to the item’s weight, establish the gold-alloy weight separately before using the gold calculator.

Price a Necklace by Weight and Karat

In the karat system, 21K contains a nominal 87.5% gold and 22K about 91.67%. Equal-weight items therefore contain different quantities of fine gold. The complete jewellery bill also pays for the design and manufacture, so the metal calculation is one component of a comparison.

Illustrative comparison: a 12-gram 21K necklace contains 10.5 grams of fine gold; a 12-gram 22K necklace contains 11 grams. At an assumed pure-gold reference of SAR 400 per gram, their metal values are SAR 4,200 and SAR 4,400. The SAR 200 difference follows from their gold contents. Compare the actual workmanship and tax on each offer to establish the final price difference.

When the seller already quotes a rate for 21K, multiply that rate by the 21K alloy weight. Applying 21/24 again would reduce the gold content twice. An article with an exact fineness should be compared using its stated or tested specification.

What a Saudi Jewellery Offer should Show

The Ministry of Commerce’s precious-metal rules announcement identifies metal type, weight, fineness and price among the particulars that advertising should make clear. Use those details to compare a displayed item with its invoice. A photograph or a large discount does not tell you how many grams of gold you receive.

For an item set with stones, ask how their weight and value are treated. For a hollow design, compare the actual gold weight and construction rather than judging by size. Keep the description, price agreement and purchase bill, particularly if an exchange or later resale may depend on them.

Making Charges and VAT in the Final SAR Price

Convert a making charge into its SAR amount for the selected item. A fee per gram changes with weight; a fixed design fee does not follow the same calculation. After negotiating a discount, confirm that the article’s weight, purity and other terms are still the same.

Saudi Arabia’s standard VAT rate is 15%. Investment metals have separate conditions in ZATCA’s regulations, including at least 99% purity and tradability on the global bullion market. Do not apply that category to ordinary 21K or 22K jewellery. Obtain the actual tax treatment on the seller’s invoice.

The Ministry of Commerce’s consumer price-display guidance requires the displayed price to include applicable VAT and match the final invoice. If an offer is already tax-inclusive, adding VAT again overstates the cost. The jewellery-price guide helps separate metal, workmanship and the payable total.

Exchanging Old Gold for a New Item

Ask for two amounts: the buyer’s valuation of your old jewellery and the complete price of the new purchase. Record the accepted weight and purity of the old item, any deductions and whether the amount is an exchange credit or a cash-buying offer.

For example, if a new item costs SAR 5,500 and the old-gold credit is SAR 3,900, the additional payment is SAR 1,600 under those terms. A separate cash offer of SAR 4,000 would be a different comparison. Check whether choosing it changes the new item’s price or any exchange discount before deciding which arrangement costs less.

Comparing Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam Offers

Use the city table to organise a local comparison, then match the actual seller, time, purity and product. Two shops can use a similar metal reference yet offer different workmanship or exchange terms. A quoted bar premium may also include packaging or delivery that another offer lists separately.

For a purchase across the Gulf, compare the full SAR offer with the full AED offer after currency conversion. The UAE gold page explains its jewellery and visitor-purchase context. Check any transport and destination import requirements before treating a foreign price as your final cost.

Reading the Saudi 7-Day and 30-Day Trend

The historical table lets you compare dated SAR observations using one selected purity and weight. Review both the direction and the size of a change: a percentage and its SAR amount answer different parts of the question. Use the same price series for the start and end dates.

A chart can help place today’s quotation in context, but it does not determine a shop’s future price or the payment for your jewellery. Record a current written offer when making the comparison. For units beyond grams, use the gold weight-conversion guide.
