Au22K Gold Price in Saudi Arabia Today

22 karat gold contains 22 parts gold and 2 parts other metals (usually copper and silver), making it about 91.6% pure — which is why it is hallmarked 916. The small amount of alloy makes 22K noticeably harder and more durable than pure 24K gold, while retaining a rich gold colour. That balance of durability and gold content makes 22K the standard for traditional jewellery across much of Asia and the Middle East.

Saudi gold souks in Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam sell mainly 21K and 22K jewellery — 21K being the distinctive regional standard — alongside 18K designer pieces. Shops quote a per-gram rate for each karat, updated through the day, plus workmanship.

The 22K price is a fixed proportion of the pure gold price: multiply the 24K rate by 22 ÷ 24 ≈ 0.9167. For example, if 24K gold costs 100 SAR per gram, 22K gold is worth about 91.67 SAR per gram of metal value. Jewellery shop prices add workmanship and retail margins on top of this metal value, which is why in-store prices are usually higher than the spot-derived rate on this page.
