Gold in Morocco: the local market
Moroccan souks trade both 18K and 21K, with heavier traditional pieces — belts, khamsa pendants and bridal sets — often in 21K, and modern jewelry in 18K.
Gold plays its classic role in Moroccan weddings (the dowry chest), and remittances from Moroccans in Europe often arrive ahead of seasonal gold buying.
