Middle Eastern Gold
California Gold & Silver Exchange understands that The Middle Eastern culture has a long tradition and high standard for gold. Middle Eastern gold jewelry from Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and other Middle Eastern countries is generally 18 (١٨) Karat or 21 (٢١) Karat gold. This gold is very bright and will never tarnish or rust. The gold is often marked “750” (“٧٥٠”) or “875” (“٨٧٥”). Gold from Middle East may also be marked with numbers in Arabic. Below are some examples of markings on Middle Eastern Gold Jewelry. Because Dubai is a desirable vacation destination for people around the world, they sell almost all purities of gold. We have seen jewelry from Dubai as low as 14 karat all the way up to 24 karat. Often we see gold jewelry from Egypt having King George gold coins attached. These coins, if genuine, are 22 karat gold. We have many customers that have lived, visited or received a gift of gold that was purchased in the Middle East or Near East. They sometimes do not know that the gold is likely higher karat gold. Some gold buyers may take advantage of people who don’t know that the gold is higher karat gold. They may buy the gold for a lower purity because the customer does not know, or the buyer does not have the experience in testing 18K (١٨) or 21K (٢١) Middle Eastern Gold Jewelry. California Gold & Silver Exchange will value your gold accurately. With our XRF X-Ray Analyzer we have the equipment to properly evaluate your gold and we pay accordingly. We pay by cash or check, whatever your preference, even for large amounts.
