TeNo - discover your desire

Everybody knows that summer is over and fall is here. The fall with its colored leaves, colder days and its comfy evenings. But here are some pictures that will remind us of the summer.

Great summerlike decoration in the TeNo Corner at Solitaire in Freiburg, Germany. On their German Solitaire-Blog our jewelry partners wrote about it and you can also see how this decoration developed.

Of course part of our anniversary year: ShiKou, one of our classics. ShiKou fascinates the TeNo fans already since 2005. Satinised stainless steel, tough natural rubber and depending on the design also with sparkling brilliants in black and white. A special clasp and the steel wires in the inside of the bracelet ensure an extreme resilience. ShiKou can take a lot. During our anniversary year you get 10 percent off of the double-rowed ShiKou bracelet (on the left).

Naturall rubber, stainless steel and 0,432 ct. diamonds in TW/si. That’s ShiKou de luxe and with 10 percent off you definitely save a lot.

You’ll get 10 percent off of this design from our ShiKou-line as well – with black and white diamonds, black 0,08 ct. and white 0,04 ct. TW/si.

Black & White is the theme oft the current C&A advertising campaign. What the fashion world discovered this summer do we from TeNo already know: the contrast of the extremes is fascinating and applies always! The great thing about a black-white combination is that you can add whatever color you want as an eye catcher. Or you stay classical with the two colors. After all are satinised stainless steel and velvet-black natural rubber themselves a great couple and I’m not even talking about the black and white brilliants that shine through here and there. Here are some exapmles:

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.

“Over five years on the market and still the ShiKou collection from TeNo is not rusting.”-so a german magazine. We can explain that they’re right for sure. Even in 25 years ShiKou is not going to rust. The design is ageless and still modern tomorrow, just like everything from TeNo ShiKou is made to outlast time. The materials-satined stainless steel and robuts rubber, sometimes with sparkling diamonds or soft gold-don’t rust in general. ;-) The speciale clasp and the in the bracelet integrated steel wire ensure that the bracelet is absolutely stable. ShiKou can sustain a lot. Thanks to this technique you won’t loose ShiKou when you close it properly and you could really only destroy it under the use of great force. You can’t think of TeNo without the ShiKou collection anymore and it’s going to be a main part of TeNo for many more years. And of course it is not going to rust, because none of the TeNo jewelry pieces is ever going to rust. Nor in the transferential meaning . :-)

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.” : )

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. :-)

Here they are again – our blog splinters of the last week:

A tough girl about the engagement ring culture.

ShiKou would look very nice in addition to this styling. Or instead of? ;-)

The origin of charms. And that’s what it has become. Create your charms here.

Charity boxes. A useful addition to the TeNo Stand Up Charity? ;-)

Charms are the best gifts for any occasion.

A beautiful combination? They also look good when separated. ;-)

The sound wave bracelet

Style evolutions are necessary. That´s what TeNo thinks too.

Apparently, stainless steel jewelry can attract attention more than other kinds of jewelry. For example as described here, the effect of stainless steel on women. First I thought that they mean that men wearing this kind of jewelry attract women, but when reading the article you notice that they mean it elsewise.

With attraction, they  mean that women begin to discover that stainless steel is a very good option for them instead of silver for example. So if a man buys them stainless steel jewelry for special occasions like christmas or their birthdays it might impress them. In my mind, this might be a good side effect, but the most important that the jewelry looks good on you. So maybe if the man wears good looking stainless steel jewelry himself, it impresses the other gender as well. ;-) And for both, men and women, you can find here a big variety of different jewelry.

After that many product we’ve introduced since the last few days, today we’re just going  to show a picture. The ShiKou-Navigationpoint, directly taken from our website brought to you. This way we you save the detour via teno.com. There is nothing much to say about ShiKou. You have to see it. Or better: feel it. discover your desire…
