What Are Silver and Gold Face Masks Like?
First, let’s talk about the masks. Per the Hürriyet Daily News, Demirci started to produce the masks in June after reopening his shop in Istanbul. The metalsmith told the outlet that his silver masks are pure 999-carat and don’t contain any copper or nickel coating. They weigh less than a tenth of a pound (20 grams) and cost about $200. The gold masks, on the other hand, also weigh less than a tenth of a pound (25 grams) and cost about $2,700.
The outlet reported that Demirci makes about 150 to 200 precious metal masks per week. When the pandemic is over, the metalsmith maintains that the “collectible” items can be saved as souvenirs.
