Features of a Gold-Plated Sikh Kara:

• Material: Typically made of stainless steel, iron, or a mix of metals, with gold plating on top.

• Design: Can be simple or intricately carved with designs, Khanda symbols, or Gurbani inscriptions.

• Purpose: While a pure iron or steel kara is traditionally preferred, some people wear gold-plated versions for aesthetic or cultural reasons.

• Durability: Gold plating can wear off over time, depending on usage and the thickness of the gold layer.

• A gold-plated Sikh kara is a traditional Sikh bracelet made of iron or steel but coated with a layer of gold. The kara is one of the five Kakaars (5 Ks) that baptized Sikhs (Amritdhari) wear as a symbol of their faith.
