What 21K gold actually is

87.5% pure · 21/24 · hallmarked 875

21K is 87.5% gold, stamped 875, and it is the Middle East's own standard — uncommon in Europe or America, dominant from Cairo to Kuwait. The extra alloy over 22K buys enough hardness for daily wear while keeping the warm yellow that reads as gold rather than as pale metal.

It is the karat most Arab jewellers quote first, and the one most likely to be in the window with a per-gram price on a card. If you are comparing shops in this region, comparing their 21K gram price is the closest thing to a like-for-like test, because nearly all of them carry it.

Because it is the regional default, it also has the deepest resale market here: a 21K piece sold back in Amman, Riyadh or Cairo is priced against a number the shop quotes every morning, with no need to convert from a standard the local trade does not use.

Egypt gold market

Egypt's gold market is driven by jewellery demand at 21K and 18K. The Egyptian pound has been devalued several times since 2022, and local demand for gold tends to rise around devaluations as families protect their savings. VAT of 14% is charged on an agreed average making charge per gram, paid when the piece is hallmarked; the gold itself is not taxed. Cairo's main gold market is the El-Sagha quarter next to Khan el-Khalili.
