Check Out World's Most Expensive Face Mask Valued At $4,000; Took Craftsmen 8 Days To Make

An Indian businessman has paid about $4,000 for possibly the world’s most expensive face mask. It is a bespoke gold face mask to protect him from the coronavirus raging in the country.

However, the mask may not be as effective as the cheap ones in the market.

The precious metal covering weighs 60 grams (two ounces) and took craftsmen eight days to make, said businessman Shankar Kurhade, from the western city of Pune.

“It is a thin mask and has tiny pores that is helping me to breathe,” Shankar told AFP.

“I am not sure if it will be effective to protect me from a coronavirus infection but I am taking other precautions,” he added.

When going out, the 49-year-old said he likes to adorn himself with gold jewellery weighing a kilogramme, including a bracelet, necklace and rings on each finger of his right hand.

Kurhade — whose company makes industrial sheds — said he got the idea for the gold face mask after seeing a media report about a man wearing one made from silver.

“People are asking me for selfies,” he said.

The golden mask instead of the usual one is of course interesting, though in my opinion it is too expensive. It is sad that it does not protect perfectly and the usual mask is better, but at least it looks very unusually interesting and expensive. Personally, I prefer regular masks because in my opinion they are easy enough to wear and they are not expensive. I usually order masks because in this way you can order not one but 50 at once and at a very favorable price. I think it's even much cheaper than in conventional pharmaceutical stores. And they deliver them quickly enough, the main thing is to have a mask with you in order to pick up the package, otherwise it will not be possible to pick up the package without the mask.
