In Algeria, the jewellery market is currently in a high-demand phase as brands prepare for Ramadan 2026 (expected to begin in mid-March). As of February 23, 2026, gold prices in Algeria are near historic highs, leading many retailers to shift their focus toward promotional "gift sets" and silver collections to maintain affordability.

Today's Gold Rates in Algeria (February 23, 2026)
Gold prices have surged this week, reflecting the global trend. Approximate retail rates per gram in Algerian Dinar (DZD):
* 24K Gold: ~18,108 DZD
* 22K Gold: ~16,599 DZD
* 21K Gold: ~15,845 DZD (The most popular for local wedding sets)
* 18K Gold: ~13,581 DZD
Shopping Tips for Algeria
* The "Ramadan" Window: If you are planning to buy gold, try to finalize your purchase before the second week of March. As Ramadan approaches, many workshops in the Gold Souks of Algiers and Constantine increase their labor fees due to the rush of "Mahaba" (gift-giving) and engagement season.
* Red Coral Authenticity: Algeria is world-renowned for its Red Coral (Corallium Rubrum). When buying from artisans in El Kala or Algiers, ensure the coral is natural and not "pressed" or dyed plastic. Authentic coral will have tiny, natural striations visible under a lens.
* Hallmarking: Algerian gold must carry the official state hallmark. For 18K gold (the standard for most luxury boutiques), look for the "Horse" or "Head" stamp to ensure purity.
* Payment: While online stores like Jumia Algeria and Atelier AOLA accept digital payments, traditional boutiques in the souks heavily prefer cash. You can often negotiate an extra 2–5% discount if paying in full with cash.
