- Technology
  - Bead crocheting
  - Crocheting with beads is very similar to crocheting with wire. You can make jewelry and even bags with it. Crocheting with beads requires intensive training. It quickly becomes apparent who is a beginner and who is not. If you crochet tightly, the bracelet will maintain its shape well when worn.
  - Beading in a pattern
  - This technique requires concentration and precision. There are various bead stringing techniques; which one we use depends on the pattern. For less distinct patterns, beads are threaded onto the needle by passing the needle through a tray of beads. For more specific patterns, each bead is counted and placed on the needle in the correct order: this requires the patience of a saint.
  - Beading on elastics
  - For this technique, our makers need to be highly focused. That’s because elastic is thicker and rougher than wire, making the threading process more time-consuming. Each bead is manually positioned correctly. Once all beads are on, we tie the elastic and finish the knot with a bead.
  - Beading on metal wire
  - We sometimes use metal wire to make a piece of jewelry more solid. With metal wire, we can also create a firmer shape than with elastic.
  - Handmade knotting technique
  - Our knotted bracelets are made of hundreds of knots of thread. By using different knots and knotting techniques, we create various patterns and textures.
  - Handmade loom weaving with beads
  - This handcrafting technique resembles weaving fabric but with beads instead. We use a mini loom. Our patterns are meticulously planned by arranging beads of the same size in a specific sequence.
  - Slide knot closing
  - We use a special knotting technique to create a sliding knot on bracelets from thread. Precision in work is essential for the knot to slide smoothly.
