TeNo - discover your desire

Here are some pictures of our TeNo booth on the Inhorgenta 2010. Of course we would have like to show you pictures of other boothes and of the exhibition atmosphere as well, but it’s not allowed to take pictures without official permission. But of course we are allowed to take pictures of our own booth, so here they are!

Carlos Vasquez, TeNo Store South Beach Miami, sent an email:

Just having fun in Sunny Florida.  We have a new Key Chain by TeNo.  Not just baby TeNo or baby YuKoN, but a new YuKoN key chain.

We think, that’s a very nice idea. :-))

We got a postcard from Monika and Dieter Lechler who spent their vacation on Rhodos in Greece. They just started blogging for their jewelry store “Solitaire” in Freiburg. Monika sends a postcard every year but it’s not an usual one – she designs her own postcardy by drawing attention to jewelry in an artistic way, just like this colorful mixed  bracelet from our YuKoN collection. It reminds of a rainbow and looks really great with the blue sky in the background.  We were really excited about these holiday greetings. Thank you!

Here we go with another edition of our “Bloggers and their jewelry” series. This time we interviewed Teresa, our new blogger for the English TeNo blog. In the following questions she will tell us everything about her taste concerning jewelry. And obviously she likes everything from self made necklaces to YuKoN. She just started blogging for TeNo and as it seems she´s already developed a sense for good jewelry.

1. Do you wear jewelry, if yes what kind?

I don’t wear that much jewelry, sometimes earrings, a necklace or a ring, but not that often. Right now for example I’m not wearing any jewelry…;-)

2. When do you wear jewelry? All the time or just for special occasions?

More for special occasions I think. But sometimes I find something that matches my outfit and I just wear it then.

3. Is there jewelry that you would never wear? (more…)

Stephen from Australia is really busy. I asked for a photo – and yepp – here it is.

Stephen explains the photo with his mail. He wrote:

In answer to Jürgen’s request here is a picture of the Australian R J Scanlan TeNo team. Sam on the right hand side is responsible for the ordering of TeNo and deals with many of the Australian Jewellers who sell TeNo. As Jürgen has said, we had many jewellers who were very impressed with TeNo, particularly the YuKoN range.

We had made up one YuKoN Stainless Steel Necklace for the display using one 18K polished donut on either side of a steel and 18K wave element set with diamonds and this piece looked great and was purchased by lots of our customers.

Best Regards

Stephen

Thanks a lot Stephen! We’re looking forward to hear all news from abroad. We’d love to take part a bit.

We are doing an interview serial called “Bloggers and their jewelry”. We want to use this serial to introduce other blogs we like to read to you.  And it suggests itself to do an interview about what TeNo is all about: Jewelry. We want to have a variety of many different blogs and bloggers which we will present bit by bit.

But first we answered the interview ourselves and present each other, so you can get to know us a little bit better…:-) So here is Florian, one of the main bloggers on the English TeNo blog.

1. Do you wear jewelry, if yes what kind?

I have a silver necklace since 3 1/2 years which I wear all the time. At night, during the shower and while doing sports. ;-) And of course my YuKon bracelet which I have since about 1 year, besides changing some elements I also wear that all the time.

2. When do you wear jewelry? All the time or just for special occasions?

As I said, ALWAYS. :-)

3. Is there jewelry that you would never wear? (more…)

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.

As you read here, the style of Michelle Obama has become quite famous. Not only that her fashion style is great, but also her personal taste of accessories like jewelry. Supposedly, she especially likes wearing pearls. In brown and gold. Also, the blog says that Mrs. Obama loves pendants and likes to add color.

Maybe TeNo pearls or the YuKoN color elements would fit the taste of the First Lady as well? We would be very proud to provide her with our jewelry. :-)

I know, not by personal experience, but from hearsay (and “indirect experience), that naming a jewelry collection can be quite hard. And today I stumbled across this blog entry which is about naming new jewelry collections. Though I have to say that some tips, like Alison #1, Alison#2 and so on, are in my eyes not the most elegant way to create a name.

The name YuKoN for instans was coined by the river Yukon in Canada (shown on the picture above), which became famous especially for the goldmining and the search of people for their individual way of life and luck. Another tip is to find a personal name for the jewelry item. The costumer should relate or associate something with the name and I think TeNo is doing a good job so far. ;-) For example  the engagement ring collection TaMoR or the other ring collection personal.

Usually when I blog about celebrities like Tracey Goldfrey or John Quiñones buying TeNo products, they visited the store in Soho, New York. But not this time. :-):

Danny Tenaglia recently visited the TeNo store in sunny South Beach, Miami. For those who don’t know him, he is a very famous international Dj who released numerous songs, among others a remix of a Depeche Mode song which also earned him a Grammy nomination. To give you a better picture of what kind of music he does, here is an example:

Besides his own myspace page he also has his own website he also has his own wikipedia entry. If you are interested, you can also read this interview.

Here are some pictures of him together with Leo Neves:

He obviously is very happy about what he just bought. It’s too bad that you can’t see what exactly he bought, but I was told that he loves YuKoN. :-)

Hope to see you again. :-)
