18K White Gold & Rose Gold Rate in UAE — Same Price?

Yes — the gold rate is identical for yellow, white, and rose gold at 18K. All three contain exactly 75% pure gold. The remaining 25% differs by alloy only:

18K ColourGold ContentAlloying MetalsToday’s Rate (AED/g)Notes
● Yellow Gold75%Copper + silver—Classic warm gold colour
● White Gold75%Palladium or nickel + silver—Often rhodium-plated. Same raw rate, higher making charge.
● Rose Gold75%Higher copper ratio—Pink hue from copper. Same rate, slight making premium.
White gold rhodium plating: Most 18K white gold jewellery in Dubai is rhodium-plated to achieve its bright silver-white appearance. Rhodium doesn’t affect the gold rate — but replating (needed every 1–3 years with heavy wear) costs AED 80–200 per piece at most Dubai jewellery shops.
White gold vs platinum in Dubai: White gold (18K) and platinum look similar but platinum is typically 2–3× more expensive per gram and considerably heavier. For diamond rings in Dubai, 18K white gold is the most popular choice — it looks like platinum at a significantly lower price point.

KaratPurityToday (AED/g)Today (USD/g)Best For

22K91.7%——Traditional jewellery, coins
21K87.5%——Most Dubai jewellery
18K ← this page75.0%——Diamond-set, fine & luxury jewellery

18K Gold Rate UAE — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 18K gold rate in UAE today?
The 18K gold rate in UAE today is — AED per gram (USD — per gram). Rates are sourced from the Dubai live gold market and updated every 15 minutes.
Is 18K white gold the same price as 18K yellow gold in UAE?
Yes — the raw gold rate is identical. All 18K gold (yellow, white, and rose) contains exactly 75% pure gold, so the spot rate per gram is the same. Differences in retail price come from making charges — white gold often carries slightly higher making charges due to rhodium plating. The base gold value on this page applies to all three colours.
Why is 18K gold used for diamond jewellery in Dubai?
18K gold is the standard for diamond-set jewellery because it is harder than 22K or 24K — meaning prongs and settings hold diamonds securely without bending. It also costs less per gram than higher-karat gold, allowing more budget to go towards the diamond. 18K white gold is popular for diamond rings because its silver-white colour makes diamonds appear whiter and more brilliant.
What does the 750 stamp mean on 18K gold in Dubai?
The “750” stamp is the international fineness hallmark for 18K gold — 750 parts per 1000 are pure gold (75.0%). In Dubai, all 18K gold pieces must carry this DMCC-certified hallmark. You may see “750”, “18K”, or “18ct” — all mean the same purity. Always check for this stamp before purchasing any 18K jewellery in Dubai.
Is it cheaper to buy 18K gold jewellery in Dubai than in Europe or the UK?
Generally yes — by 10–20% for comparable pieces. UAE charges 5% VAT on jewellery vs 20% in the UK and most of Europe. International brands (Cartier, Tiffany, Bulgari) price their pieces based on the regional tax environment. Tourists can claim back the 5% UAE VAT at Dubai Airport on purchases over AED 250 via the Planet Payment Tourist Refund Scheme.
How do I calculate the gold value of my 18K jewellery piece?
