FAQ

Common Questions

PAMP Suisse and Valcambi do not sell directly to retail or individual investors. They operate exclusively through a global network of authorised wholesale dealers. Orovia is an authorised dealer supplying PAMP and Valcambi products directly to both institutional and retail buyers in the UAE. When you buy through Orovia, you are buying genuine, authenticated bars that have come through the official authorised supply chain  with all original packaging and documentation intact.

Gold bar prices are calculated as: Spot Price + Premium.

The spot price is the live international market price per troy ounce of gold, quoted in USD. You can see the current spot price on our Market Rates page.

The premium is the amount above spot that covers the refinery’s production cost, Orovia’s dealer margin, and any packaging or certification cost. Typical premiums:

  • Large cast bars (1kg, 995)— lower premium, 1–2% above spot
  • Minted bars (PAMP Fortuna, 999.9)— 3–6% above spot depending on weight
  • Fractional minted (1g–10g)— higher premium per gram, up to 8–12%

Larger bars always carry a lower premium per gram than smaller bars.

Ten Tola bar weighs exactly 116.638 grams (10 tolas). One tola equals 11.664 grams, a unit of weight historically used across South Asia and the Middle East. The Ten Tola format is the most traded gold bar in the UAE, India, and wider Gulf region — preferred for its cultural familiarity and the fact that Al Etihad Gold’s Ten Tola bar carries UAE Good Delivery (UAEGD) accreditation, the only internationally accepted standard for this format. It is ideal for both investors and traders in the region.
