Gold jewelry in its various types and designs remains one of the most popular gifts for Eid Al-Fitr, offered by many residents of Eastern Region to their families. The gesture reflects appreciation for the efforts made during the holy month of Ramadan, from preparing iftar and suhoor meals to organizing the home and fostering a spiritual atmosphere for the family.
Goldsmith Abdulmonem Ali Al-Saghah explained that gold jewelry holds added value, combining adornment with financial security.
It can be worn at family gatherings and weddings while also retaining resale value if needed.
He noted that gold jewelry is typically classified by karat, craftsmanship, and design.
Al-Saghah added that many families in Eastern Region have practiced goldsmithing for generations, with the profession often passed down from parents to their children. This tradition helps preserve family heritage
while providing reliable financial returns, similar to other commercial professions.
He also emphasized that Saudi Arabia is considered one of the leading countries in the gold industry and manufacturing. Gold, he noted, is widely regarded as a safe long-term asset, prompting many citizens to purchase it not only as an adornment but also as a form of savings and a means of future financial security.
