Tips to sell used gold for the best price

  • Check today's gram price for your karat on this page before visiting a shop.
  • Making charges are not refunded when you sell – shops pay the raw metal value minus a small margin.
  • Bring the original invoice; it proves karat and weight and speeds up the sale.
  • Get offers from at least two or three shops in the same souq.

How shops price used gold

When you sell, a shop pays the raw gold value of your piece minus a small margin – today about 398.02 AED per gram for 21K. The making charge you paid when buying is not refunded, which is why new jewellery (478.02 AED/g before VAT) costs much more than its resale value.

Selling vs. exchanging

Exchanging old gold for new pieces in the same shop is often cheaper than selling and buying separately, because many shops reduce the margin on trade-ins. Always ask for the price per gram in writing and compare it with this page.

Avoid common mistakes

  • Know your karat – check the stamp (916 = 22K, 875 = 21K, 750 = 18K).
  • Make sure the weight is measured on a certified scale in front of you.
  • Stones and pearls are usually removed or not paid for.
  • Check today's 21K and 22K prices before visiting the souq.
