TeNo - discover your desire

The largest AIDS fundraising event in Quebec, Canada is the Farha Foundations “CA MARCHE”, a walk through the streets of Montreal. More than 10,000 walkers attend it every year and last year more than 25,000 dollars were raised.

TeNo supports the fight aginst AIDS as well! In order of a contest with the theme “Give AIDS no chance” the actor Raphael Niebel wrote a script for a social commercial. TeNo was impressed and enthusiastic about his dedication for AIDS education and the fight against AIDS and supported him in his project. TeNo provided jewlery for the actors Raphael Niebel and playmate Janina Wissler and sponsored the production financial as well, so that Raphael could accomplish his project. The winners of the contest will be announced in two weeks! TeNo is excited to see what the commercial will look like and wishes the best of luck.

Lately, we´ve been talking a lot about jewelry for men, especially about the growing popularity of diamond jewelry for men. But of course, there are also a lot (more) different kinds of jewelry for women. Necklaces, for example, are the most popular jewelry among women.

When it comes to diamonds, I thought it could be interesting to know, how you can test if it´s a real one or not. Not everything that is shiny is also a diamond. So here are a few tips that might help you:

1: The diamonds setting. That means, you should check if the diamond(s) are mounted or if you can see any cheap materials that make diamond look bigger and flashier.

2: Weight the diamond (if you have the chance to). A real diamond will weigh about half of what a fake one does.

3: Breathing on the stone can also help. The fog should disappear in about 1-2 seconds. If it takes longer, chances are high that it’s just glas.

4: Put a newspaper behind the stone and try to read it. If the letters are visible, it probably is not a real diamond.

By the way, do not try to scratch glas with it. Even if it´s a real diamond it will not only damage the glas.  More about this topic can be found here. Another, and very simple way to make sure you bought real diamond jewelry, look for the TeNo sign. :-)
