The increasing demand for buying gold jewelry during the holy month of Ramadan is attributed to the recent trend among women and girls in Kuwait, who have embraced wearing gold as part of their Ramadan fashion. It has become customary to adorn gold jewelry for occasions such as ‘Quraysh,’ ‘Ghabqat,’ and other Ramadan gatherings.
Many women have turned to reviving traditional gold jewelry designs in Kuwait.

These pieces are sought after by those who wish to stand out in traditional attire and adorn themselves with traditional gold jewelry.
Despite the recent rise in gold prices, the onset of the holy month of Ramadan has seen an increase in women buying gold jewelry. Stores in various locations across Kuwait’s markets were crowded with women and girls seeking to acquire gold pieces to complement their Ramadan fashion.
