In Dubai, You Can Now Test Jewellery Purity in Just 40 Seconds

During the opening of GITEX 2025, Dubai Municipality introduced a breakthrough system that allows users to instantly verify the purity of their gold, silver, or platinum jewellery. The new Smart Gold & Jewellery Testing Lab kiosk is one of the first of its kind in the world — and it can deliver results in only 40 seconds.

Why It Matters

For tourists, shoppers, and jewellery buyers in Dubai—especially those with limited time—the ability to check the purity of an item before leaving the city is a major convenience. Traditionally, one would have to submit pieces for lab testing, which could take up to seven days. The new self-service system closes that gap dramatically.

The kiosk is part of a broader push to elevate trust, transparency, and service quality in Dubai’s gold and jewellery market. By bringing accurate, on-demand testing to a public space, it empowers buyers to make informed decisions immediately.
