Today it’s Biggis birthday. Biggi is TeNos german copywriter and she is also blogging in german, english and spanish, really international. :) Biggi is probably one of the main reasons of TeNos online success. It definatly wouldn’t be what it is today without her.

We wish you the very best for your birthday and hope you’ll have an awesome day! :)

This is ShiKou…

…this is OliveChain…

…and this is the man who has been seen wearing both. It is Anthony Mounier, a french soccer player who is wearing the bracelet ShiKou around his wrist and the necklace OliveChain around his neck. Didier from France sent us the link to the article about Anthony Mounier with a short confident sentence saying: “We have a new TeNo fan!”

We’d like to say:  “Monsieur Mounier, welcome to TeNo fan family.” : )

There are many important questions in life. But, probably, the most important one is how to make a girl fall in love with you. And that´s the question John Chow is asking himself in his blog. And yes, he has some answers. But what he doesn´t tell is what to do when you found this one person. In this case TeNo has the answer. :-) One of the biggest steps is to put a ring on her or his finger. Which one to choose is up to you, but I think this is a nice example.

The girl John Chow is talking about might not have a finger to put a ring on, but anyway, his tips are vital.  Especially for everyone with a blog. And on the internet, you can find thousands of people, so why not THE person?

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.

Here are some great making of pictures!

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. :-)

From the 30th of August until the 1st of September the “Jewels and Watches Exhibition” took place in Utrecht, Netherlands. TeNo is a constant exhibitor in Utrecht meaning that every first monday of the month and two times a year for a couple of days our jewlery partners or those who want to become partners have the opportunity to get into direct contact with us.

The TeNo represantatives worked really hard on the TeNo booth to make it look really nice and in the end it looked great.

TeNo agents Martine (Belgium) and Simone (Germany) together with Yvette who is traveling in the Netherlands for TeNo represented TeNo and it was a lot of fun for all of them to work on the exhibition. They had a lot to do because the TeNo booth was busy all the time, from morning until night clients gathered around TeNo. In the end the “Jewels and Watches Exhibition” was really successful for TeNo, which is not a wonder because jewelers in the Netherlands know that TeNo jewlery satisfies the consumer  not just by the diversity of designs but also by the high quality of TeNo. One proof for that is a great article about TeNo in the dutch jewlery magazine.

Men´s diamond jewelry has changed and it´s design has evolved a lot since the past years. From over sized rings and necklaces, which were to heavy to wear to stylish and confident design, with attracting to much attention. Men´s jewelry has evolved into a respected category with it´s own design and features. TeNo for instance, uses the three square design. And just like women´s jewelry, it should match your overall look and wardrobe, so their functions are almost the same. Even if men usually buy jewelry for other reasons than women.
This also describes the philosophy of TeNo. Because we think that jewelry should be for everyone, no matter if it´s for men, women or unisex, as we already said in this post. ;-)
But the linked blog has more to offer about diamond jewelry. This report shows the diamond trade week of different countries. It´s a little specific, but also interesting if you are involved in the diamond business, one or the other way. :-)

Reading these 3 postings, there is nothing more to say. And we take this opportunity, to say the Twitter community good bye. We´ve decided that it´s better to take the time taking care of  networks for companies which already proved themselves useful in the past, as XING.  We see much more potential in them as in twitter, plus it´s just the way we communicate. It´s already hard enough to integrate the blog-communication into our every day routine. And to tweet something usefull and interesting during work is impossible. Tweeting without any background is just not our cup of tea. But we´ve tried. You can´t be everywhere at the same time. So we´ve decided to stop everything we´ve planned using twitter and we will delete our account. And besides, only tweeting blogs is not the sense of twitter, as we think.

Hey everybody! I’m Teresa and just like Jana and Maria , who blog in the spanish TeNo-blog, I’m one of the new bloggers from TeNo here on TeNo-blog.com. Like Jana and Maria and Florian I spent 10 months abroad. In fact I called Salt Lake City in the US my home for 10 months. It was an amazing time and I’m excited to use my english experiences to write here. Over spring break this year I visited Las Vegas and saw this sign. I had to think of TeNo right away and sent the picture to TeNo Germany. You see TeNo is everywhere and worldwide!

Not much time has past since we´ve spend some time on vacation, we are working under high pressure on new pieces of jewelry, which will be released during autumn this year. This September the novelities have to be in stock. The “pressure” to release new products  is growing from our jewelry partners and their costumers. However, we already have a gib variety of jewelry, which aren´t just seasonal articles. And we are taking good care of our portfolio of designer jewelry, but apparently this isn´t just enough. And that´s good. Our jewelry partners only react on the demands of their costumers.
