Why the aljamal is so expensive, yes this question we are often asked. There are several reasons for this; the aljamal is produced in Germany, this naturally results in higher costs than if you produce abroad; aljamal uses high-quality brass, brass cost much more than, for example, stainless steel; the aljamal is made of solid brass, high weight – high material costs; the finish – each aljamal is individually final polished and checked by hand.
