TeNo - discover your desire

Those of you who follow this blog on a  regular basis might have read the care tips about pearls. There we told you about how to take care of your pearl necklace. For example that you should avoid hairspray or any cosmetic products. But also another problem occurs when wearing the necklace very often. The pearls come in contact with the skin and this way absorb acid gradually. To keep the pearls from getting a mat look you can wipe them with a cloth after wearing them. this will not prevent the process completely but it will slow it down significantly. So if you have pearl jewelry or are planning on buying it, take good care of it. And if you’ve any more questions – ask your jeweller. He is an expert and he’ll give advice what to do. :-)

A couple of weeks ago we wrote about Gabriels broken TeNo necklace. Apparently he took Sherris advice and repaired his necklace. Or did he find an alternative necklace to wear his equal cross from TeNo?

Anyway the pictures on Gabriels blog are just awesome and we’re glad he found a way to wear his TeNo necklace again so he could combine great TeNo jewelry and great pictures in one.

I just read this post on the Violent Pillow Blog. Gabriel the owner of the blog writes there about his life and this includes TeNo. He loves his TeNo necklace which he has been wearing constantly since June 2006 but a few days ago he wrote that his TeNo necklace, which he got for his graduation broke.

Of course that is really terrible BUT no reason to be sad. I’m pretty sure that if you go to a juweler of your trust he will be able to fix your necklace. And then you can enjoy your TeNo necklace again and don’t have to wear it on a piece of rubber. ;-)

Our care tip of today surely can be used for many closings of jewelry like  bracelets and necklaces. In this special case however, I want to stress that the closings of YuKoN and DyKoN should be cleaned on a regular basis. Otherwise, problems with the clearance could occur, as in the case of this costumer, who asked for help:

Dear Sirs and Madams,

I bought bracelet (natural rubber with stainless steel closing), which I was wearing during my vacation without taking it off. Too bad that I can´t open it now. And since I´m not planning on wearing it all my life, but don´t want to cut it on the other hand, I´m asking you for further steps to solve my problem.

Our care tip:

When wearing your jewelry for a long period, small pieces of soap, skin or cremes, saltwater and dirt can get in the closing, preventing it from opening or closing. To solve this problem we recommend to open the YuKoN or DyKoN closing taking it off and clean it under warm or hot water on a regular basis.

Sometimes we receive emails from our costumers with different questions about the care of their TeNo jewelry and watches. We´ve been thinking about posting these questions in our blog and this way make them available to our blogreaders as well. But sometimes it takes a while from an idea to the realization. ;-) And today we will start with a question about taking care of pearls, which we received during the holidays:

Dear  Sir or Madam,

A few weeks ago, I got a great jewelry set from you as a gift with beautiful grey – blue pearls. I like them so much that I want to keep them for a long time. Do I have to take special care and grease them?

Thank you for your response

Our  tips for taking care of your pearls:

Try to avoid the contact with dish- or saltwater as well as any chemicals like chlorine. Also avoid hairspray perfume and any cosmetic products since they can harm the natural shine of your pearls. So only put on your pearl jewelry when done putting makeup on. We recommend to clean your pearls on a regular basis with a soft tissue. Any kinds of fat, even natural skinfat and sweat can change the natural color of the pearls on the surface. So never clean your jewelry with cremes and fats. Pearls – and other kinds of jewelry should never be stored in wet or moist places
