Square-Design

Teresa - Thursday, October 7 2010

Everybody who knows TeNo understands that we have nothing against squares. Quite the contrary. The “Three Square Design” is eventually a trademark of TeNo – whether on rings, pendants, watches or on our new leather-accessories  – you couldn’t think of our collections without these three squares.

Whether three golden squares on the bracelet YuNis, three black squares on the ring YuMa or three stainless-steel squares on the wallet from our satin leather collection, even the stainless-steel strap of some watches exists of three squarish elements in the middle. All these designs became a trademark of TeNo and are counted today as design-classics – often copied, but never achieved. :-)

We absolutely love squares. But this here – is too much of a quad, even for us. ;-)

Diamonds: size isn’t everything

Teresa - Wednesday, April 21 2010

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.

10 percent off for TeNo fans – pendant YuNis

Teresa - Saturday, March 27 2010

Many TeNo fans ask us on which products they’re getting 10 percent off during our anniversary year. That’s why we decided to present some of our anniversary offers here on the TeNo blog. The start makes our pendant YuNis – satinised stainless-steel with an inlay off high-quality, black HighTech ceramic in our classic three square design. These three squares have become our trademark and you couldn’t imagine our collection without it. We are excited that the 3 x 4 corners melted together with TeNo over the years and especially that even our first creations are still demanded. That was and is our standard: TeNo design wants to be timeless and doesn’t want to follow fast moving trends. And so this pendant YuNis is what we would call a a classic. During our anniversary year it will be labeled with the little yellow 10, the symbol that TeNo fans get 10 percent off.
