How Malabar Gold Prices Its Jewellery
Like all jewellers in the UAE, Malabar Gold and Diamonds prices jewellery using this formula:
Final price = (Gold rate per gram × weight in grams) + making charge + 5% VAT
The gold rate per gram is the market benchmark, the same number you see on this page. The making charge is Malabar’s own fee for labour, design, and workmanship, and varies by jewellery type. Plain gold chains and bangles have lower making charges; intricate bridal sets and branded collections have higher ones. Malabar displays its making charges per gram or as a fixed rate on each jewellery tag inside the store.

Malabar offers BIS-hallmarked jewellery, consistent purity certification, exchange policies, and a more structured buying experience, which commands a higher making charge.
