How a Tesbih Is Born

How a Tesbih Is Born

  1. 01

    Material Selection

    Catalin, amber, faturan and other select materials are carefully chosen by considering their colour, texture, grain and measurement characteristics. Each piece begins to take shape according to the material's natural structure.

  2. 02

    Calculation and Shaping

    Each piece is measured, its proportions are determined and it is planned for the most efficient use. The beads are worked one by one; form, balance and surface are checked with precision.

  3. 03

    Stringing and Boxing

    The completed beads are carefully strung according to their colour and grain harmony. After final checks, the piece is placed in its own presentation box.

  4. 04

    Certification

    Each piece is recorded with its own serial number and paired with a QR-coded digital certificate. This keeps the piece's identity and record information verifiable.
