How Does Kalyan Set Its Gold Price in the UAE?
Kalyan publishes a daily gold rate in its UAE showrooms, based on the retail rate that UAE jewellers follow. The bill then adds the making charge for the design and 5% VAT.
| Part of the bill | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Gold value | Weight × the day’s rate for the karat |
| Making charge | Craftsmanship, set per gram or as a percentage |
| Stones | Diamonds or gems, priced separately |
| VAT | 5% on jewellery in the UAE |
Kalyan is known for South Indian temple jewellery, bridal collections and 22K designs, where making charges vary widely between a plain chain and a detailed necklace. Always ask for the making charge per gram so you can compare.
Where Are Kalyan Jewellers Showrooms in Dubai?
Kalyan’s best known Dubai stores are in the traditional Indian shopping areas of Bur Dubai and Karama. Most open from 10 AM to 10:30 PM, every day of the week.
| Area | Location | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Meena Bazaar, Bur Dubai | Two showrooms on Al Souq Al Kabeer Street | Bridal and festival shopping |
| Al Karama | Karama Centre, near the main entrance | Quieter shopping with parking nearby |
| Al Karama | Al Sherouq Building, opposite Karama Park | A second Karama option |
Kalyan also has showrooms in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Al Ain and other emirates. Check the Kalyan store locator for the branch nearest you.
Is Kalyan Cheaper Than the Gold Souk?
The gold rate is the same across Dubai, so for the same weight and karat the gold value is identical. The difference is the making charge, which is fixed at Kalyan but often negotiable in the Gold Souk.
Kalyan’s advantages are its designs, a brand certificate, and service across its showrooms in the GCC and India. For plain gold bought mainly for weight, a souk shop may give a lower total.
Taking Kalyan Jewellery Home to India
Many Indian families buy at Kalyan in the UAE because they can have pieces serviced at Kalyan showrooms in India too. Ask the showroom whether exchange and maintenance terms apply across countries, and get the answer on your invoice.
Under India’s Baggage Rules 2026, a woman who has lived abroad for more than a year can bring 40 grams of gold jewellery duty free and a man 20 grams. Our guide on how much gold you can carry from Dubai to India explains the rest, and the AED to INR gold rate converts a Kalyan quote into rupees.
How to Check a Kalyan Quote in Three Steps
1. Multiply the weight by today’s 22K rate from the live table.
2. Subtract that from the price before VAT to find the making charge and stones.
3. Compare that figure with one other jeweller for the same design weight.
Our gold price calculator for Dubai handles the first step automatically.
A Worked Example: 22K Necklace at a Branded Store
Imagine a 20 gram 22K necklace at an illustrative rate of AED 470 per gram, with a making charge of AED 25 per gram for a detailed design. The gold is worth AED 9,400 and the making charge AED 500.
The subtotal is AED 9,900, and 5% VAT brings the total to AED 10,395. The same weight in a plain design with a lower making charge would cost noticeably less, so compare designs as well as shops.
When Do Kalyan and Other Indian Jewellers Run Offers?
Indian jewellery chains in the UAE usually run their biggest promotions around Akshaya Tritiya in spring, Dhanteras and Diwali in autumn, and the Dubai Shopping Festival in December and January. Offers often cut making charges or add gold coins on larger purchases.
Offer terms change each season, and the gold rate on the bill still follows the day’s market level.
