In Lebanon, the jewellery market is currently operating in a "dual-currency" environment, with prices largely anchored to the US Dollar due to local economic conditions. As of late February 2026, the market is transitioning into the Mother’s Day season (celebrated on March 21st in the region), which is historically one of the biggest periods for gold and diamond sales.

Current Gold Rates (February 23, 2026)
Gold prices have surged significantly in early 2026, reaching new heights in both USD and LBP.
* Gold Spot Price: ~$5,163 per ounce
* 24K Gold: ~$166.00 per gram
* 18K Gold: ~$124.50 per gram (The most common standard for Lebanese jewellery)
Shopping Tips for Lebanon
* USD vs. LBP: Most reputable jewellers in Lebanon quote their prices in US Dollars to maintain stability. If you pay in Lebanese Pounds (LBP), ensure the exchange rate used is the current market "black market" or "Sayrafa" rate, as the official rate is often outdated.
* The "Mother's Day" Window: The best promotions for Mother's Day typically launch in the first week of March. If you are looking for specific "Mama" pendants or heart-shaped gold designs, many independent goldsmiths in the Beirut Gold Souks will begin discounting making charges next week.
* Hallmarking: Always look for the official Lebanese state hallmark (the cedar tree or the fineness stamp like 750 for 18K). This is vital for the resale or trade-in value of your gold within the country.
* Security & Certification: For any diamond purchase, insist on a GIA or HRD certificate. Brands like Voyageur and Mouawad provide these as standard, but independent shops in Bourj Hammoud should also be able to provide certification upon request.
