The making charge (also called labour charge or workmanship fee) is the cost a jeweller charges for crafting gold into jewellery. It is added on top of the gold price and is the only part of the price you can negotiate in UAE gold souqs.
A fair making charge depends on the type of jewellery. Simple chains and bangles range from AED 5-15 per gram. Machine-made rings run AED 8-18 per gram. Handcrafted items with intricate detail can be AED 20-40+ per gram. Gold Sooq Guide uses data from 15+ verified sources to show you if a quote is fair.
Yes, 5% VAT applies to gold jewellery in the UAE. Investment-grade gold (24K bars and coins meeting specific purity and weight requirements) is VAT-exempt under UAE Federal Tax Authority rules.
