It Began in Istanbul
The journey began in Istanbul, out of a love for prayer beads. Over the years we learned how amber, Sıkma and kuka sit in the hand. Those years gave us two things: an eye that can tell what is what, and workshops we trust.
Novatesbih
About Us
Novatesbih is a prayer bead brand. We do not run our own workshop; we select and source the collection from master workshops in Türkiye's bead-making centres. We decide which models enter the collection and we inspect every incoming batch. We are the single point of contact behind the strand that reaches you.
What Sets Us Apart
We Make the Selection
We decide which model enters the collection, in which colour and size. The workshop produces; the responsibility is ours — product information, care and exchange are between you and us.
Sample Inspection
Every batch that reaches our base is inspected. Nothing is boxed before the drill axis, calibration, thread and kazaz braid are checked; anything off standard goes back.
Regular Shipping to the Gulf
We work regularly with shops and distributors in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and Bahrain. The export invoice and packing list are on us; any further documents required by the destination country are planned together according to the scope of the order.
The Novatesbih Story
Why We Work With a Network of Workshops
Prayer beads are not a single craft: the workshop producing Sıkma beads is not the master weaving kazaz braid. So we source each product group from the workshop known for that work. The product leaves their bench; the selection, the inspection and the responsibility for the sale stay with us.
The Gulf and Wholesale
Most of our output goes to shops, distributors and corporate buyers in the Gulf. Wholesale prices are quoted according to the selected model and order quantity; there is no fixed list. From order to shipment you deal with a single contact.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you make the pieces yourselves?
We do not run our own workshop. The products are made in master workshops in Türkiye; we choose the model, colour and sizing, inspect incoming batches and carry responsibility for the sale.
How can I be sure what the product is made of?
Every product name and specification block states the material group, and each product page carries a material note. Commercial series such as Turkish Sıkma, Fire Sıkma, the Rod Series and Beirut Drop are not presented as genuine natural amber. We do not use technical material names unless the composition has been confirmed by the supplier.
Do you ship to the Gulf states?
Yes. We ship regularly to Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and Bahrain among others. Outside Türkiye we work wholesale only — single retail pieces are sold within Türkiye. For wholesale batches, delivery time and cost are confirmed before you order.
Can I visit you?
We are preparing a showroom at our base in Zeytinburnu, Istanbul; once it opens you will be able to see the collection in person. Until then we handle wholesale and corporate meetings over WhatsApp and video call — we will show you any model live.
