What is the “tel kirma” technique?

The centuries-old Anatolian craft known as “Bartın Tel - Tel Kırma” involves the delicate art of thread breaking using fine silver wire and hand-crafted needles. Skilled artisans meticulously create unique pieces using this traditional technique. However, the advent of mass production poses a threat to this age-old art form. Our Istanbul studio therefore strives to safeguard this heritage by infusing it with a luxurious outlook and adopting sustainable practices. With their expertise, our artisans intricately embroider silver threads onto tulle using specialized needles, resulting in stunning pieces that showcase their craftsmanship. Each creation is a testament to our commitment to using only the highest quality materials, giving you the opportunity to own not

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.
