Today's gold rate in Saudi Arabia

📍Gold is priced on a national benchmark, so the rate below is the same across Saudi Arabia — including at Saudi Arabia's own Riyadh & Jeddah gold markets, Traditional and modern gold shops across Riyadh and Jeddah, where 21K and 22K jewelry is especially popular. The only thing that varies by jeweller (in Saudi Arabia or anywhere else) is the making charge added on top — always ask for that to be shown separately from the gold rate.

How It Works

This page shows the live gold price per gram in Saudi Arabia in Saudi riyals (SAR), converted from the international LBMA benchmark and adjusted for approximate local duties and taxes. The same rate applies across the Kingdom, including in Riyadh and Jeddah, while the making charge is what varies between jewellers.

How the SAR rate is calculated

The international gold price per gram is converted into riyals using the current USD-to-SAR relationship, then adjusted by a small local premium to approximate duties and taxes. It's a practical estimate of the metal's local value before making charges.

Why 21K and 22K dominate jewelry

Saudi jewelry is mostly 21K and 22K, because these karats are harder and hold their shape better for everyday wear than 24K. 24K is more often bought as bars or coins, so the premium over the base rate tends to be lower for those purchases.

Examples

Pricing a 10g 21K bracelet

If the 21K base rate shown above is SAR 300/gram, 10 grams is 10 × 300 = SAR 3,000 in gold value, before making charges.

Comparing a bar and a bracelet

A 10g 24K bar at SAR 330/gram is about SAR 3,300 in gold value, while the same weight in jewelry with a 12% making charge adds about SAR 360 on top of the 21K value.

Common Use Cases

  • Checking today's SAR gold rate before buying jewelry in Riyadh or Jeddah
  • Comparing making-charge quotes between shops
  • Estimating the value of gold held for savings or family gifts
  • Tracking gold prices in riyals alongside other investments

Tips

  • Ask the jeweller to itemise the gold weight, karat, and making charge on the invoice.
  • If buying for savings, compare the premium on bars and coins rather than the jewelry price, since the premium is usually smaller.
