Costume jewellery in the UAE: prices and how to buy

Updated 31 October 2026

Most costume jewellery in the UAE sells for about AED 20 to AED 80 per piece or set, according to sellers' websites in October 2026. For prices on the exact piece you want and sellers in your city, describe it in a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Check the stamp and the plating

Federal rules on precious metals set fineness standards for gold and other licensed metals, so a piece sold as gold must meet them and should carry an official stamp. Most costume pieces are not precious metal at all, so ask the seller what the base metal is and how thick the plating is. Under the UAE consumer protection law, as amended by Federal Decree Law No. 5 of 2023, buyers keep their rights even when a seller's warranty is shorter, so ask for the warranty terms in writing.

Season and occasions

Summers in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman and Al Ain are very hot from May to September, and plated pieces can wear faster in the heat, so check the finish before buying for summer. Demand is higher from November to March, when the weather is mild and outdoor events and evening parties are more common. Order a few weeks before a wedding or party so you have time to compare offers.

Delivery between the five cities

Name the city where the piece should arrive, so the seller can quote delivery to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman or Al Ain. Prices are in dirhams, so write your budget in AED, for example AED 150 at most. Ask whether the quoted price includes delivery and what happens if a clasp breaks in the first weeks.

What to write in your request

Say what the item is (necklace, earrings, set, ring or hair piece), the style and colour, and the length or size. Add whether it is a gift, the quantity, and your budget in AED. If you need a specific material such as pearl, crystal or rhinestone, name it, because materials change the price.

BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. Describe the piece in your own words and add a photo if you have one. The AI asks for missing details, then looks through sellers' websites and price lists in the UAE and shows the prices and businesses it found. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their own offer, price and delivery terms, and your contact details stay hidden until you decide who to share them with.
