18K gold means 75% pure gold. The remainder is hardening metals (typically copper, silver or zinc) that make the alloy strong enough for everyday jewellery. Common in European fine jewellery and gem-set pieces.

How is the 18K gold price per gram calculated?

Per-gram price = (Spot price per troy ounce in USD / 31.1035) × purity ratio (75%) × local currency FX rate. For example, at a 4500 USD/oz spot and a 3.75 SAR/USD rate, 18K per gram in SAR is approximately (4500/31.1035) × 0.750 × 3.75 = 406.91 SAR.

What is the difference between 18K and other karats?

Each karat has a different purity ratio: 24K=99.9%, 22K=91.7%, 21K=87.5%, 18K=75%, 14K=58.3%. Higher purity equals higher price for the same weight. 21K is the most popular in Gulf jewellery for its balance of purity, hardness and price.

Does the 18K price shown here include making charges?

No. The displayed price is the spot-equivalent raw gold value only (world market price). Jewellery shops add a making charge set by each shop, and jewellery carries VAT (15% in Saudi Arabia, 5% in the UAE). See the methodology page for details.

How often is the 18K price updated?

The spot price is read from Swissquote at least every five minutes and, while the page is open, follows live PAXG/USD quotes from Binance, Coinbase and Kraken (the median of the three). Exchange rates are daily mid-market rates.
