How the Ornaments Are Made

First quality check to insure size matches the targeted design
The craftsmen start etching pieces in accordance to the specified design
The artisans start painting pieces then preparing them to be heated for 5-6 hours in a high temperature oven to fix colors
Once the pieces are done they are left for 3-4 hours then once again our artisans start painting the gold and preparing pieces to go into the oven again for 5-6 hours
Second quality check is made for color matches and gold degree as well as any air bubbles that might be in the glass
