Your guide to Raffinato. Italian gold, crafted for distinction
About Our Gold
Every Raffinato piece is crafted from 18-karat Italian gold, stamped with the internationally recognised 750 hallmark. Our gold is sourced directly from master refineries in Arezzo and Vicenza. the heart of Italy's fine-jewellery tradition. ensuring the highest standards of purity and lustre.
18-karat gold is the international luxury standard chosen by the world's leading maisons. Its alloy composition (75% pure gold) delivers superior hardness and scratch resistance compared to 21K or 22K, which means your jewellery holds intricate details longer and secures gemstones more reliably. The result is a piece that balances rich colour with everyday durability.
Absolutely. Each piece bears an Italian maker's mark and the 750 fineness stamp, certifying 18-karat purity. Our jewellery is fully compliant with SASO (Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization) requirements, and every order ships with a certificate of authenticity.
Our pricing is transparent: the gold weight of the piece is multiplied by the prevailing daily gold rate, then a craftsmanship fee is added to reflect the design complexity and artisanal labour involved. VAT at 15% is already included in every listed price. there are no hidden charges.
Yes. Full payment is collected at the time of purchase, satisfying the Sharia requirement of immediate exchange of value.
