☬ Traditional Sarbloh Sikh Kara
This traditional Sarbloh Kara is made from pure iron and handcrafted in Sri Amritsar Sahib, Punjab, India, home of Sri Harmandir Sahib.
The Kara has a simple flat-profile, one-edge design, giving it the traditional appearance preferred by many Sikhs looking for a straightforward Sarbloh Kara for everyday wear.
Unlike stainless steel Karas, Sarbloh is genuine iron. Its natural grey appearance, substantial feel and ability to develop oxidation or patina are characteristics associated with the material.
Each Kara is individually made and hand-finished, so no two pieces will be completely identical.
🪯 The Sikh Kara – One of the Panj Kakaar / Five Ks
The Kara is one of the Five Articles of Faith, commonly known as the Panj Kakaar or Five Ks, associated with the Khalsa tradition established by Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji in 1699.
Its continuous circular form is traditionally associated with eternity and serves as a daily reminder of a Sikh's connection with the Guru and commitment to righteous conduct.
For Sikhs, the Kara has religious significance beyond that of an ordinary bracelet or fashion accessory.

📏 IMPORTANT – How to Choose Your Kara Size
Our Kara sizes are measured using the INTERNAL DIAMETER.
For the most accurate size:
- Take a Kara that already fits you comfortably.
- Place it flat on a level surface.
- Measure straight across the inside opening, from one inner edge to the opposite inner edge.
- Do not include the thickness of the metal.
- Compare that measurement with the size options in this listing.
For best accuracy, we recommend using Vernier callipers where possible.
⚠️ Handmade Size Tolerance
As these Karas are traditionally manufactured and hand-finished, measurements may vary by approximately ±2mm.
Please allow for this normal manufacturing tolerance when selecting your size.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions – Sarbloh Kara
What is a Sarbloh Kara?
Sarbloh is traditionally understood as iron. This Kara is made from pure iron rather than stainless steel and has the natural characteristics associated with traditional iron Sikh Karas.
Is this Kara stainless steel?
No. This listing is specifically for a Sarbloh / Pure Iron Kara.
If you prefer the brighter finish and greater corrosion resistance associated with stainless steel, please choose one of our stainless steel Kara listings instead.
Will a Sarbloh Kara rust?
Yes, it can. Sarbloh is iron, so exposure to moisture, sweat, humidity and normal everyday conditions can naturally cause surface oxidation or rust.
This is a normal property of iron and does not automatically indicate that the Kara is defective.
Why does my Kara have marks on it?
Traditional Sarbloh Karas may show forge marks, grinding marks, polishing marks, joint marks, surface variations, small pits or other signs of hand-finishing.
These are normal characteristics of traditional production and can vary from one Kara to another.
Is every Kara exactly the same?
No. These are traditionally produced and hand-finished items. Minor differences in shape, surface texture, colour, dimensions and finishing should be expected between batches and individual Karas.
Is the Kara suitable for men and women?
Yes. The Kara is suitable for Singh, Kaur, men and women. Please select the appropriate internal diameter for the wearer.
Where is this Sarbloh Kara made?
These Karas are handmade in Sri Amritsar Sahib, Punjab, India and stocked in the UK for fast dispatch.

⚖️ Important Sarbloh Kara Disclaimer
Please read before purchasing.
Sarbloh means pure iron. Iron behaves differently from stainless steel.
Due to the traditional material and manufacturing process:
• Surface rust or oxidation can naturally occur.
• Forge, grinding and polishing marks may be visible.
• Small pits, holes, indentations or surface irregularities may occasionally be present.
• A joint, weld or finishing area may be visible.
• Colour and surface finish may vary between batches.
• Individual handmade Karas will not necessarily look completely identical to the listing photographs.
• Internal diameter measurements may vary by approximately ±2mm due to traditional manufacturing and hand-finishing.
These characteristics are associated with the material and manufacturing method and should be considered when purchasing a traditional Sarbloh Kara.
Listing photographs are representative. Lighting, photography and different screens may also affect the apparent colour and finish.
Please check the required internal diameter carefully before ordering.
❤️ Caring for Your Sarbloh Kara
Because genuine Sarbloh is pure iron, oxidation and patina can naturally develop over time.
To care for your Kara:
• Keep it as dry as reasonably possible when not being worn.
• Wipe away excess moisture with a dry cloth.
• Do not leave it stored wet or in a damp environment.
• Surface oxidation can normally be cleaned or polished if desired.
• A suitable metal-care product may be used according to the product manufacturer's directions.
Some wearers prefer the natural changing appearance of Sarbloh, while others periodically clean and polish their Kara.
