Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Talise Sterling, Goods and Shopping · ✓ Data verified August 2026 · 8 min read

Among jewelry stores in Abu Dhabi, Malabar Gold and Diamonds has racked up more than 20,000 Google reviews at its Madinat Zayed branch alone, a scale most jewelry chains never approach, while still holding a perfect 5.0 average. In a gold district this dense, that combination of volume and rating is the real signal, and every store on this page clears 4.9 or better.

Short answer: Malabar Gold and Diamonds (Madinat Zayed) leads with a perfect 5.0 across more than 20,000 Google reviews, the largest volume of any jewelry store on this page. Joyalukkas Jewellery (4.9, 2,348 reviews) and Nakshathra Jewellery (4.9, 2,188 reviews on Hamdan Street) round out the top picks. Every store here sits within a tenth of a star of a perfect rating, so review depth is what separates them.

How we score

Every number on this page is computed from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the store’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated them, ranked against other Abu Dhabi jewelry stores. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 5.0 from over 20,000 reviewers carries more weight than a 4.9 from a few hundred. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does jewelry cost in Abu Dhabi? (2026)

Gold jewelry pricing in Abu Dhabi is driven by the daily gold rate plus a making charge that varies by design complexity, and none of these stores publish a fixed price list online since gold prices shift daily. Diamond pieces are priced separately by carat, cut and clarity. Ask each store for the current gold rate and making charge before you commit, and get it in writing.

Jewelry stores across Abu Dhabi

Malabar Gold and Diamonds, Joyalukkas and both Nakshathra branches sit within the Madinat Zayed gold district, one of Abu Dhabi’s best-known shopping areas for gold and diamonds, with Carcassonne a short distance away on Hamdan Bin Mohammed Street. Searching for a jewelry store near me? Madinat Zayed is the natural starting point for comparing several stores in one visit.

What to ask before you buy jewelry in Abu Dhabi

What’s today’s gold rate, and what making charge applies to this design?
Is the piece hallmarked, and can I see the certification?
For diamonds, what’s the carat, cut, clarity and colour grade?
Do you offer a buy-back or exchange policy?
Can you source a specific design or size from another branch?
Is instalment or split payment available?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these jewelry stores?

We started from jewelry stores in Abu Dhabi with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Why are there two Nakshathra Jewellery listings on this page?

Nakshathra Jewellery operates separate branches on Hamdan Street and inside Madinat Zayed Shopping Centre. They’re independently reviewed on Google, so both appear here with their own ratings and reviews.

Where’s the best place to buy gold jewelry in Abu Dhabi?

Madinat Zayed is the traditional gold district and home to most of the stores on this page, including Malabar Gold and Diamonds, Joyalukkas and both Nakshathra branches.

The bottom line

Malabar Gold and Diamonds is the safe default given its sheer review volume and perfect rating, while Carcassonne is worth a look if you want European-style 18K designs instead of traditional gold-souk pieces. Whichever store you choose, confirm the day’s gold rate and making charge before you buy.
