What is the "wire-breaking" technique?

Centuries-old Anatolian craftsmanship, known as "Bartın Tel – Tel Kırma," involves the delicate art of wire breaking using fine silver wire and handcrafted needles. Skilled artisans meticulously create unique pieces through this traditional technique. However, the advent of mass production poses a threat to this ancient art form. In response, our Istanbul studio endeavors to safeguard this heritage by infusing it with a luxurious perspective and embracing sustainable practices. Our artisans, with their expertise, intricately embroider silver wire onto tulle using specialized needles, resulting in breathtaking pieces that exemplify their craftsmanship. Each creation stands as a testament to our commitment to using only the highest quality materials, offering you the opportunity to own not just a piece of history, but also an exquisite work of art and luxury.

Storage and Use

For your epoxy and ceramic accessories, store them in their case to protect the handmade resin petals from sun damage. It's important to keep these accessories away from heat sources such as fireplaces and lamps. If the petals are flattened, gently lift them with your finger to restore their volume. Additionally, avoid spraying hairspray directly on the accessory to prevent damage.

Regarding your metal and coated accessories, spraying perfume directly on your gold-plated jewelry is not recommended; it's better to apply perfume first to avoid chemical interactions. Ensure lotions are fully absorbed by your skin before wearing your jewelry. These pieces should be kept away from substances like oil, chlorine, and sweat to prevent tarnishing. After use, cleaning with a soft cloth is advised, and for deeper cleaning, warm soapy water can be used, steering clear of harsh jewelry cleaners. To prevent scratches, storing your pieces in a soft cloth or in a separate jewelry box is recommended.
