How do we calculate these prices?
Prices on this page are calculated automatically from the global spot price of a gold ounce, converted to EUR using the European Central Bank’s reference exchange rates, then broken down per gram for each karat. Jeweller prices may differ slightly, as shops add making charges and a dealer margin.
Buying gold in Belgium
In Belgium, most people buy physical gold from licensed dealers and specialist gold shops in Brussels and Antwerp, and some banks can also arrange purchases of investment bars and coins. Antwerp deserves a special mention: the city has long been a world hub for the precious stones and metals trade, and its trading quarter is home to many well-established dealers.
One point often surprises newcomers: under EU rules, investment gold — bars and coins meeting the purity criteria — is exempt from VAT, while gold jewelry is generally taxed like other consumer goods. That difference makes bars and coins the usual route for anyone buying gold purely to store value.
In Belgian jewelry shops you may find karats such as 18k and 14k more often than the 21k many Arab buyers know from home. Before you pay:
- Check the hallmark or ask for a certificate confirming karat and weight.
- Compare the dealer’s premium with the live spot-based prices on this page — a small gap is normal, a large one is worth negotiating.

What is the best way to buy gold in Belgium?
Most buyers go to licensed dealers and gold shops in Brussels or Antwerp, and some banks can arrange investment bars and coins. Always check the hallmark or ask for a certificate, and compare the quoted price with the live spot-based prices on this page.
Why do shop prices differ from the global gold price?
Dealers add a premium over the spot price to cover fabrication, certification and their own margin, and jewelry carries workmanship charges on top. That is why a gram at the counter costs somewhat more than the raw market rate shown in the table.
