kara

[Guest guest]

I have this kara (one of those sikh bracelets) I was given, and I like

wearing it except that it discolors my skin a yellowish-orange. It's

really old, so I'm not sure what metal it's made out - steel, maybe? I

was wondering if anyone had any ideas? I was thinking perhaps I could

get it coated with something?

 

Thanks.

Hi Brian,

I have been around Karas for 2 decades and have never seen one

discolor the skin. The Kara used by the folks I know (numbering over a

thousand) are made of stainless steel. Occasionally I see some kind of

grayish, not shiny steel on a guy but never saw, or heard complaints of

skin discoloration. It's sound like you have something other than pure

steel and certainly not stainless steel.

 

For those of you wondering what we're talking about, here's a decent

Sat Nam everyone,

 

Brian, Kara are either made out of Iron or steel, I think you may have one

made out of iron. I read an article and it mention something about Kara.

Go the www.exoticindia.com and check out an article called The spiral

serpent, I am not sure of the title, but it was last months artical of the

month.

 

I have a question, dose some one have to give you a kara or can you buy them

somewhere?

 

PEACE LOVE & ALL LIGHT,

Sat Nam Brian,

When I wear the Kara "some" have broken my skin out in

a rash, which I believe was due to it also containing

nickle, I say this because other jewelry that has

nickle in it has given me a rash...such as watches

etc...& what I have done is coated it with clear

fingernail polish, just a thought...when its pure

stainless steel, I don't have the rash...
