Buying an Arabic Name Necklace in Dubai: 8 Checks
Buying guide
Before you buy an Arabic name necklace in Dubai, check eight things: that it is solid gold (18K is 75% gold), that the Arabic spelling is right, the letter count, the diamond grade, the size, the price for your name length, the production time and the delivery time. The Arabic Name Necklace from Lana Al Kamal is 18K gold with VS diamond dots, from AED 4,250 to AED 4,850 depending on the number of letters (November 2026).

1. Is it solid gold or plated?
Many name necklaces sold online are gold-plated silver or steel. Plating is a thin layer that can wear through. 18K gold is 75% pure gold all the way through (World Gold Council). Look for "18K" or "750" in the product details, not "gold tone" or "gold vermeil".

2. Is the Arabic spelling correct?
Write the name exactly as the person writes it in Arabic. Many names have more than one spelling (for example «نورة» and «نوره»), and English names can be written in Arabic in several ways. If the necklace is a gift, ask a family member how the name is spelt. Our Arabic name necklace guide explains how names are written.
3. How many letters is the name?
The price depends on the letter count. Count the Arabic letters, not the English ones: «نورة» is four letters (ن و ر ة). Choose the matching option on the product page; if the count is wrong, the order is paused until it is corrected. Prices are as of November 2026.
| Arabic letters | Price (AED) |
|---|---|
| 3 | 4,250 |
| 4 to 5 | 4,450 |
| 6 to 7 | 4,650 |
| 8 to 9 | 4,850 |
The price is the same in yellow, white and rose gold.
What to buyArabic Name Necklace, from AED 4,250
4. Are the diamonds real, and what grade?
Many Arabic letters are told apart only by their dots. On the Arabic Name Necklace, each dot is a natural VS diamond of 0.03 ct. VS means any inclusions are minor and hard to see without magnification (GIA). In «نورة», the ن and the ة carry dots.
5. How big is the name piece?
The standard name piece is about 2.5 to 3 cm. That is visible but light enough for daily wear. Ask separately about chain length if it is not stated.
6. Which gold colour suits her?
Match the gold she wears most: yellow, white or rose. The lettering is shaped with the brand's golden-bubbles technique, so it reads as a design, not just a font.
7. How long does it take to make?
A name necklace is made to order, so it is not ready the same day. Production takes about 15 working days before shipping. Plan backwards from the date you need it.
8. How fast is delivery, and to where?
After production, delivery takes about 3 working days within the UAE, about 5 to Saudi Arabia and about 10 to the USA. Delivery is free within the UAE; the cost for other countries is shown at checkout. Before you pay, check that the name you typed appears in your cart. A name necklace is made for one person, so it cannot be returned unless it has a defect; it comes with a certificate of authenticity and a three-year warranty.
Name or single letter?
If the budget is tighter or the name is long, the Arabic Letter Necklace carries a single initial, about 10 × 14 mm, with a VS diamond for AED 3,200 (November 2026). Our name or letter guide compares the two, and gifts under AED 3,500 has more ideas.
