Intricate. Regal. Dazzling. All perfectly good descriptions of jewelry in the UAE.
Add the allure of gold along with other precious stones, and it’s understandable to see why shopping for Emirati jewelry is an essential part of a visit to Ras Al Khaimah.
But, where do you go to find authentic pieces?
The malls in Ras Al Khaimah feature many branded and local jewelers. Apart from that, you can also shop for local jewelry at brick-and-mortar shops across the emirate and online.
One of the most recognizable names in jewelry, Damas started in 1907 as a goldsmith service in the Middle East. In 1959, it opened its first jewelry store in the Dubai Gold Souk. From then on, Damas has developed a distinct Arabian aesthetic that combines superior craftsmanship and design integrity with luxury.
Whether you’re in search of one-of-a-kind emirati gold jewelry or want elegant keepsakes from your visit, Damas has a unique and stunning collection that will meet your shopping needs.

If you’re pressed for time and want to find as many options as possible in one place, head to the Kuwaiti Souk. It’s one of the oldest and most popular markets in the UAE. The commercial sections are segmented according to product types, and one of these is dedicated to jewelry, with plenty of gold pieces on offer.
Noora Jewellers is one of the various merchants offering gold jewelry. The shop has a good selection of rings, bracelets, pendants, chains, and jewelry sets.

Jawhara Jewellery is the creation of the original owners of Damas Jewellery, the Abdullah family. In 2013, the family sold Damas and introduced Jawhara.
The brand offers pieces with hallmarks of Emirati craftsmanship and creative jewelry designs. Jawhara also demonstrates the Abdullah family’s commitment to delivering the best value for money in high-quality jewelry to customers.

Whether it’s vintage-inspired or traditional jewelry for more mature shoppers or delicate, charming pieces meant for younger customers, jewelry in the UAE is gorgeous and sometimes ornate.
Throughout history, the jewelry here has symbolized spiritual and cultural strength.
These days, the jewelry of the region still reflects the rich cultural diversity of the UAE population, with a mix of influences from the Arabs (including Bedouin culture), Asians (especially Indians, as evidenced by the popularity of jhumka earrings and payal anklets), and Persians.
Gold figures prominently in the country’s traditional jewelry, from the murtasha, a gold choker with an elaborate design to the tassah, a magnificent gold headpiece that brides wear.
Gold jewelry in the UAE typically features precious stones and metals. In Ras Al Khaimah, some of the jewelry may even be adorned with agate and carnelian since the emirate has these quartzes in abundance.
The ornamented rings, bracelets, and necklaces further represent the innate elegance of the Emirati woman.
When you’re making your way to this oasis of nature and tranquility, prepare a list of the jewelry shops you’ll visit.
You can explore the many gold and jewelry merchants in the Kuwaiti Souk or check out the string of jewelry retail stores in Ras Al Khaimah malls. With these many options, you’re sure to find the perfect pieces to add to your collection.
