- Wall art, candlesticks, or trays that tell a personal story.

*Minakari (Enamel Art)*  
*What is it?*  
Painting bright, glossy colors onto metal or ceramics to create vibrant designs.

*Firooze Koobi (Turquoise Inlay)*

- Jewelry, coasters, or decorative boxes with turquoise accents.

Tell us where to place the stones (e.g., “around the edges” or “next to my initials”).

*Khatam Kari (Inlaid Woodwork)*  
*What is it?*  
Creating geometric patterns with tiny pieces of wood, metal, or bone.

*How to customize:*  
Pick colors for the patterns (e.g., “gold and black”) or adjust the size of the item.

*How It Works*  
1. *Share your idea*: Describe it simply (e.g., “A copper vase with my wedding date”).  
2. *We’ll guide you*: If your design needs tweaks for craftsmanship, we’ll suggest solutions.  
3. *Handmade with care*: Our artisans create your item—no machines, just skill and time.  

*Important Notes*  
- Every piece is unique: Small imperfections are part of its handmade charm.  
- Complex designs may take longer: We’ll keep you updated on timelines.

*Example for Beginners*  
Think of Ghalamzani like “tattooing” metal. You pick the design (your name, a quote, a drawing), and we carve it onto a vase, box, or wall art. It’s permanent, personal, and totally yours!
