TeNo - discover your desire

In American romantic movies and series diamonds in engagement rings often play an importan role. The bigger the jewel the greater the love, that’s what we’re told subliminal. But just like with so many other things in life, the size alone isn’t what matters, it’s the quality. For diamonds four criteria are used, known as the 4Cs: Carat, Color, Clarity and Cut. Carat thereby stands for the size, because you certainly can’t neglect it totally. But it isn’t the same as the carat amount in gold which states the clarity. The term carat comes from the greek term for the carob (keratio) whose seeds were used in the past to define the weight of a jewel, due to the carob seeds even weight. One seed usually weights 0.2 gram, that’s why today 0,2 gram is exactly 1 ct.

In the first two bracelets of the german action “YuKon – show us Your creation” you can see amongst other things beautiful elemts in yellow- and roségold. The warm gleam goes perfectly with the chilly stainless steel and gives something soft – of course just figuratively. Every golden accentuation at TeNo – whether it’s in the collection YuKoN,  TeNo de luxx, in the rings for couples or in one of the many other jewelry pieces – is made of high-quality gold with 18 carat.

That means that 75 percent of the alloy is pure gold and the other fourth is made up of silver and copper, whereas the amount of these two metals compose the yellow- (more silver) and rosécoloration (more copper). Pure fine gold (24 ct.) by the way is realtively soft, that’s why the protagonists in historique movies always bite in the coins to check whether they are real. If a dental impression stays on the coin it’s the proof that it’s a real gold coin. (more …)

In a magazine I read that the color brown is a trend in 2010. Trend in 2010? Hmm. Our TeNo designers have been a little bit ahead in time when they created many of our jewelry pieces. Those have been in our collection for a long time and not just since 2010, just because the color brown now is “in”. But we never had anything to do with short-lived trends anyway. Our jewelry in warm terrestrial-colors you could already wear before and you can wear it still in 2020 as well. Here are some examples:

Here you see the TeNo CEO on his business journey to Vegas. Nice job. ;-)

Today we’re going to show you again one of our TeNo products that is 10 percent off during our anniversary year: TeNo Zodiac, our timeless design pendant in massive, satined stainless steel with a zodiac sign which is engraved by laser. The twelve astrological symbols of the animal circle on the TeNo Zodiac pendants obviously don’t represant  that what they seem to be on the first look. Some pictures didn’t change for millenniums, for example the Aries-sign. Other were changed or redesigned by the Germanic influences – the Scorpio is one of them. On the TeNo-Zodiac-pendants you will find these archetypical symbols. Whether it’s true, that wearing your own animal circle sign helps you to get in contact with your personality better, has everyone to decide by themselves. And that in our anniversary year for a special price.:-)

Like you know we celebrated a little party on the Inhorgenta in occasion of our anniversary. We already told you about it and showed you many pictures. Now we can intensify these impressions – here it is:

TeNo Anniversary 2010 – the movie.:-)

These moving pictures really bring back the feeling of that saturday.

Franzi, our dutch translator, was on vacation and showed that she really belongs to TeNo.  Because if you discover during vacation TeNo billboards, take pictures with the TeNo store staff and then take the time to send us the pictures it really shows: We belong together. Or in this case in the right target language: Wij horen bij elkaar. :-)

Franzi wrote: “This billboard is standing at an intersection ca. 650 feet away from the Las Vegas Blvd.”

“The [next] pictures of the TeNo shop were taken in Las vegas Fashion Mall at the strip.” (more …)

Last week, I have been to Vienna for a few days. Of course, I did not only watch the sights, like the museums and the castles. I also did not want to miss a visit of the TeNo store there. Here are some of the pictures I took in the store:

I combined the visit with the buying of a new element for my YuKoN bracelet. Because it is spring now, I decided to buy an element made of shining stainless steel with pink mother-of-pearl of the colourful TeNo spring collection. I hope, you can see it on the photo:

Who knows, perhaps the YuKoN bracelet will become my personal souvenir for all the voyages I will make in the future. I am planning to look for new elements in each city with a TeNo store I will visit… ;-)

Many people on the Inhorgenta in Munich asked us about the necklace TeNo endless. Some couldn’t believe that this uncongested airy piece of jewelry is from the Pforzheim factory as well. But it is! And there are many alternatives that can make the decision for a certain necklace really difficult. And you can also choose the length…

Every necklace states with little accents a special statement. Simple, airy and easy going is for example the – let’s call it basic necklace in stainless-steel and rubber.

If you add bullets in 18 ct yellow- or roségold you also change the effect.  You’ll look a little bit closer at those spots and it catches your eye. (more …)
