At the time of writing, fine silver (999 purity) is trading at AED 7.65 per gram in the UAE — down sharply from the AED 8.88 per gram it implied when silver hit its recorded peak of $87.50/oz on May 13, 2026. If you bought sterling silver jewellery last month and assumed the price had stayed steady, it hasn't. Silver has dropped roughly 15% in 30 days, and knowing your purity matters more now than ever.
Live UAE Silver Price Per Gram by Purity (AED)
Here's the direct answer you came for. At the time of writing, based on a spot price of $64.82 per troy ounce and an AED/USD rate of 3.6725:
| Purity | Fineness | AED per gram | USD per gram |
|---|
| Fine silver | 999 | AED 7.65 | $2.08 |
| Sterling silver | 925 | AED 7.08 | $1.93 |
| Low-grade silver | 800 | AED 6.12 | $1.67 |
These are the melt-value benchmarks — the intrinsic metal content priced at spot. What you actually pay at a souk or bullion dealer will sit above these numbers. We'll get to that gap in a moment.

What the Last Six Weeks Tell You About Silver's Volatility
Since DahabPulse began recording daily closes in early May 2026, silver has been anything but quiet. Our recorded high was $87.50/oz on May 13, 2026. Our recorded low was $63.42/oz on June 10, 2026 — a collapse of nearly 27% in under a month. As of our last recorded close on June 20, silver sat at $64.89/oz, barely off that floor.
To translate that into AED terms you can actually feel: at the May 13 peak, 999 fine silver was worth roughly AED 10.56 per gram. At the June 10 low, it was approximately AED 8.50 per gram (using our recorded $63.42 close). At the time of writing, you're at AED 7.65. That's a real-money swing of nearly AED 3 per gram in six weeks — and if you're buying 100 grams of silver bars, that's AED 300 of difference depending on when you moved.
Over the last 7 days alone, silver is off 4.4%. Over the last 30 days, it's down 15.4%. Since we started recording (~6 weeks ago), it's down 16.1% from that first data point. We won't claim this is a year-long trend or a historical pattern — we're working from our own six weeks of records, and that window is what it is. But within that window, the direction has been consistently lower after the mid-May spike, with the June 10 date marking the sharpest single-day low we've captured.
What does this mean practically? If you're a buyer, you're entering at a much better level than someone who bought in mid-May. If you're a seller or own silver jewellery, the melt value of your pieces has fallen materially. You can track where we go from here using the DahabPulse gold and silver trend data.
Bar vs Jewellery: Why You Always Pay More Than Spot
The per-gram prices in the table above are melt values — pure metal math. The moment silver becomes a product, a premium layers on top.
Silver bars carry the smallest premium. A 100g bar from a recognised refiner will typically trade at a modest percentage above spot, depending on the dealer and the bar's provenance. The lower the weight, the higher the premium percentage — a 1g bar costs far more per gram to produce than a 1kg bar.
Silver jewellery — especially 925 sterling — carries a much larger markup. You're paying for design, labour, retail margin, and sometimes a brand name. The AED 7.08 per gram melt value of 925 sterling tells you what the metal inside is worth at spot; a jewellery piece might sell at AED 20–40 per gram at a retailer depending on craftsmanship and brand. That's not a scam — it's the cost of turning raw metal into wearable art. But if your goal is investment exposure to silver's price, jewellery is an expensive vehicle.
800 purity silver (common in older European and some regional pieces) gives you the least metal per gram. At AED 6.12/gram melt value versus 999's AED 7.65, you're getting roughly 80% of the metal for potentially the same retail price. Know what you're buying.
For investment-grade silver in the UAE, the most straightforward route is certified silver bars — ideally from refiners like PAMP or Valcambi, whose bars carry recognised hallmarks and resell easily. Avoid buying unmarked silver jewellery as an investment vehicle; the spread between buy and sell prices will eat your returns before the market moves in your favour.
Silver vs Gold in the UAE Right Now: A Quick Reality Check
Gold at the time of writing is $4,156.55/oz. Silver is $64.82/oz. That puts the gold-to-silver ratio at roughly 64:1 — meaning an ounce of gold buys about 64 ounces of silver. Historically (based on data we have from our own records), this ratio has shifted as both metals moved in different directions; gold's 30-day drop in our data is -8.5% versus silver's -15.4%, meaning silver has underperformed gold considerably in the past month.
For UAE buyers looking at both metals, gold's 24K price sits at AED 490.78 per gram versus silver 999's AED 7.65. Silver is far more accessible per gram, which makes it popular for smaller purchases and gifting. But silver's volatility — as our six-week record makes vivid — is meaningfully higher. You can gain more, and lose more, faster.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the silver price per gram in the UAE today in AED?
At the time of writing, the silver price per gram in the UAE is AED 7.65 for 999 fine silver, AED 7.08 for 925 sterling silver, and AED 6.12 for 800-grade silver. These figures are based on a spot price of $64.82/oz and the AED/USD rate of 3.6725. Check the live UAE silver price for the current figure, as prices move throughout the day.
Q: What is the difference between 999 and 925 silver?
999 silver is 99.9% pure silver — the closest to pure you'll find in commercial products like investment bars. 925 sterling silver is 92.5% silver alloyed with copper or other metals, making it harder and more suitable for jewellery. At current prices, 999 is worth AED 7.65/gram versus AED 7.08/gram for 925 — a meaningful difference if you're buying in bulk.
Q: Why is the silver price I see in a UAE shop higher than the spot price?
Shop prices include fabrication costs, retail margins, and sometimes design or brand premiums on top of the raw melt value. The AED 7.08 spot melt value for 925 sterling reflects only the metal content; a retailer also needs to cover manufacturing, overhead, and profit, which is why you'll see jewellery priced well above this benchmark.
Q: Is silver a good investment in the UAE right now?
Silver has dropped 15.4% over the past 30 days and 16.1% since we began recording (~6 weeks ago), with a recorded low of $63.42/oz on June 10, 2026. Whether that makes it a buying opportunity or a falling knife depends on your view — but the entry point is materially better than it was in mid-May when we recorded the high of $87.50/oz. Investment-grade bars from recognised refiners give you the cleanest exposure without the jewellery markup.
