Production

A floor built for one material

Not a general bead factory that also makes tasbih. Everything here — tooling, parameters, dust control, lighting, inspection discipline — is organised around amber and nothing else.

Rows

Amber-specific machining

Amber is 2.0–2.5 on the Mohs scale and heat-sensitive. Feed rates, tooling geometry and coolant strategy are set for it specifically, which is why our surfaces do not need the heavy buffing that rounds off edges and destroys geometry.

02 — Atelier

Close on the bore

Nine-stage polishing

Progressive abrasives through to a felt wheel and a proprietary compound. Stages three, six and nine are audited rather than assumed, because polish is where a supplier saves money invisibly.

03 — Atelier

Imam and cord tails

Hand finishing

Cord terminations closed and concealed by hand, tassels braided and balanced, each strand assembled by a single craftsman. A hang test confirms the strand falls true from the imam.

Metrology and inspection

Dimensional checks against a master gauge every two hours of production. Colour judged only under standardised 5000 K light, so a decision made on Monday matches one made on Thursday.

Nine gates

A unit that fails is removed, not reworked

The scrap rate is a cost we accept, because the alternative is a client discovering the failure instead of us.

09Sealed carton audit before despatch

One run

Consistency is only visible in quantity

A single beautiful strand proves very little — any workshop can produce one. These frames are one run of the same specification, photographed on the bench with nothing rearranged for the camera.

Verification

Come and see it, or watch it live

Client and agent visits are welcomed with notice, and we arrange invitation letters where a visa requires one. If travel is not practical, we will walk the floor on camera with your order in production — unannounced, on a day you choose.

Single takes, filmed on the bench. Nothing cut, nothing graded, nothing stabilised — the point of these is that they are dull, and that they match the photographs.

Next step

Ask us to prove it.

A live video walkthrough of your order on the production floor takes fifteen minutes and settles the question no reference list can.
