Dubai is the place to buy gold jewelry. The little shops in the souk have walls just lined with gold jewelry. Make your selections and they weigh the pieces. The price is by weight! it’s a bargain. I bought an 18K necklace for £145.00. When I returned home to London just for fun I had the necklace appraised. The jeweler who appraised it for me tried to buy it from me on the spot for £500. I think I got a great deal.
One word of warning though, in the Arab world they prefer 24K gold jewelry. 24K is a very bright yellow gold and not preferred by many westerners. I had to search to find 18K gold; the selection wasn’t as great. You won’t find 14K gold jewelry there at all.
