Kalasam is a symbol of auspiciousness and meant to last for generations. That is why, when investing in a gold-plated Kalasam, most buyers focus on factors like gold thickness and guarantees. However, an often-overlooked but crucial aspect is how environmental conditions can affect the longevity of the gold plating. The beauty and durability of a Kalasam are not just determined by its gold layer but also by how well it is protected against external elements like moisture, pollution, and chemical exposure. Ignoring this factor can lead to faster tarnishing and wear, reducing the lifespan of even the finest gold-plated pieces.
Mistake #4: Not Considering Environmental Factors
Gold plating is highly susceptible to damage from environmental elements, especially in coastal or highly polluted areas. The presence of sulfur, chlorides, and ammonia in the air can accelerate oxidation and tarnishing, leading to discoloration and deterioration of the gold layer.
Without proper protection, even high-quality gold plating may not maintain its shine and durability over time. Buyers who overlook this factor may find their Kalasam losing its luster far sooner than expected.
The Right Way
Before investing in a gold-plated Kalasam, ensure it will be protected against environmental damage. A high-quality protective lacquer coating acts as a barrier against pollutants and moisture. This specialized lacquer coating creates a shield that prevents oxidation, extending the life of the gold plating. Ensure to request the supplier for a double coat lacquer for enhanced protection of your purchase.
