Live rates in AED · Per gram, 10 grams, and 1 tola
Gold prices move with the international market, so the rate available at a jewellery shop can change during the day. This page provides the latest available gold prices for Sharjah and the UAE, covering 24K, 22K, 21K and 18K gold. The table above shows the latest available market rates in AED. The information below explains gold purity, 1-tola prices, jewellery costs and the difference between a market rate and the final buying price.
Gold Rate in Sharjah Today
The gold rate in Sharjah is commonly quoted in UAE dirhams according to gold purity and weight. The most useful figures for buyers are the prices for 24K, 22K, 21K and 18K gold, usually shown per gram.
The rate displayed above is a market-price reference. The final amount you pay for jewellery can be different because the retailer may add making or workmanship charges and other applicable costs.
For anyone checking today’s gold rate in Sharjah, the timestamp beside the live table is as important as the price itself. A rate without an update time can quickly become outdated when the market moves.
UAE Gold Rate Today
Gold prices in the UAE are generally compared by purity and weight. The four purities most relevant to everyday jewellery-price searches are 24K, 22K, 21K and 18K.
The live table at the top shows each purity in AED per gram and also provides calculated values for 10 grams and one tola.
24K Gold
24K represents very high-purity gold and contains approximately 99.9% gold when quoted as 999 or 999.9 fineness.
Because it has a higher gold content than the lower-karat categories, its per-gram value is normally higher when the same market rate and weight are compared.
22K Gold
22K gold has a fineness of about 916, meaning it contains approximately 91.6% gold.
It is widely used for jewellery, particularly where buyers want a high gold content while retaining more durability than very high-purity gold.
21K Gold
21K gold has a fineness of approximately 875, or 87.5% gold.
It is another jewellery purity used in the UAE and other regional markets.
18K Gold
18K gold has a fineness of 750, meaning it contains 75% gold.
It is commonly used for jewellery where a lower gold content allows manufacturers to use a larger proportion of other metals in the alloy.
UAE Gold Rate Today 24K
The UAE gold rate today for 24K is one of the most searched gold-price figures because 24K is the highest-purity category commonly displayed in retail gold-price tables.
Your live table shows the current 24K price per gram and calculates the equivalent price for 10 grams and one tola.
International gold prices are generally quoted using the fine troy ounce. The Gold Price is an internationally recognised benchmark and is set twice each business day in US dollars per fine troy ounce.
This international benchmark is one of the factors behind movements in gold prices. The UAE rate is then expressed in AED for local users and buyers.
UAE Gold Rate Today 22K 1 Tola
The UAE gold rate today for 22K 1 tola can be calculated from the current 22K price per gram.
One standard tola is approximately:
1 tola = 11.6638 grams
The calculation is simple:
22K price per gram × 11.6638 = 22K price per tola
For example, if the current 22K rate were AED 500 per gram:
AED 500 × 11.6638 = AED 5,831.90
The example only demonstrates the calculation. For today’s actual figure, use the live 22K rate shown in the table above.
The same method can be used to calculate a 24K, 21K, or 18K gold price per tola.
Price of Gold in UAE
The price of gold in UAE is normally quoted in AED according to purity and weight. Buyers may compare prices per gram, 10 grams, tola, or other weights depending on how they purchase gold.
The per-gram market rate is not necessarily the final price of jewellery. A jewellery item includes more than the raw value of its gold because the retailer may apply workmanship or making charges.
For example:
Gold value = current rate per gram × gold weight
The final jewellery price can then include additional charges applicable to that particular item.
This distinction is important when comparing prices between jewellery shops. A shop advertising a lower gold rate does not automatically offer the lowest final price if its making charges are higher.
Gold Purity and Price Differences
Gold purity affects the amount of actual gold contained in an item.
| Purity | Fineness | Approx. Gold Content |
|---|---|---|
| 24K | 999 / 999.9 | 99.9% |
| 22K | 916 | 91.6% |
| 21K | 875 | 87.5% |
| 18K | 750 | 75% |
A higher karat generally means a higher proportion of gold in the material. That is why 24K normally commands a higher gold value per gram than 22K, 21K or 18K at the same market point.
The actual rates shown in the live table come from the connected XAU/AED price feed, which provides karat-specific gram prices.
Sharjah Gold Rate and UAE Gold Rate
People searching for the gold rate Sharjah are usually looking for the current UAE gold price in AED, but the amount charged by an individual jewellery retailer can vary.
The market rate provides a useful reference when comparing shops. The final price depends on factors such as purity, weight, making charges, workmanship and the specific jewellery design.
For this reason, the best comparison is not simply the advertised AED-per-gram rate. Buyers should compare the complete invoice for the same purity and weight.
Gold Price Per Tola in UAE
Tola remains an important weight unit for many gold buyers.
The conversion used for the calculations on this page is:
1 tola = 11.6638 grams
To find the value of one tola:
Current gold rate per gram × 11.6638
For example, if a live 24K rate is AED 500 per gram:
AED 500 × 11.6638 = AED 5,831.90
For 22K at AED 450 per gram:
AED 450 × 11.6638 = AED 5,248.72
These figures are examples of the calculation method rather than today’s rates. The live table above should always be used for the current price.
Why Gold Prices Change
Gold prices can change as international market conditions change.
The global gold market uses internationally recognised benchmarks, with the Gold Price set twice daily in US dollars per fine troy ounce.
Movements in the international gold market can therefore influence prices quoted in local currencies. Currency conditions and local retail factors can also affect the price that buyers see.
For a page targeting a “today” search, showing the latest update time is therefore essential.
Gold Rate vs Jewellery Price
The gold rate shown on a price table should not be confused with the final price of a finished jewellery item.
A simplified calculation is:
Gold value + making/workmanship charges + applicable taxes or other charges = final price
The exact amount depends on the jewellery item and retailer.
VAT treatment also depends on the type of gold being supplied. The UAE Federal Tax Authority states that certain investment-grade precious metals, including qualifying gold of 99% purity, fall within the zero-rated category. This should not be interpreted as meaning that every gold jewellery purchase is automatically VAT-free.
For an actual purchase, check the complete invoice and the charges applied by the retailer.
How to Compare Gold Prices in Sharjah
Before buying gold jewellery, compare the complete cost rather than focusing on one number.
- Check purity: Confirm whether the item is 24K, 22K, 21K or 18K.
- Check weight: Make sure the stated weight matches the item.
- Check the gold rate: Compare the retailer’s rate with the current market reference.
- Ask about making charges: Confirm whether they are calculated per gram, as a percentage or by another method.
- Check the final invoice: Compare the total amount, not just the advertised gold rate.
This approach gives you a much clearer picture of what you are actually paying.
Gold Rate History
Today’s rate becomes more useful when it can be compared with previous prices.
A historical section can show how 24K, 22K, 21K and 18K prices have changed over time. The page can later incorporate verified historical data from the API rather than displaying manually created figures.
Historical prices should only be published when the underlying data has actually been retrieved and stored. That keeps the page transparent and avoids presenting estimated figures as historical market data.
