CEMÍ - PLATAEste arete es mi versin de un cem tano. El cem es un concepto tano que designa una deidad o espritu ancestral a ciertos objetos. Para los tanos, dicho espritu viva dentro del cem. Esta versin del arete es de plata esterlina . 925. Segn relata el cronista Fray Ramn Pan en su obra Relacin acerca de las antigedades publicada en 1498: "Unos contienen los huesos de su padre y de sus antepasados; los cuales estn hechos de piedra o de madera algunos que

Este arete es mi versión de un cemí taíno. El cemí es un concepto taíno que designa una deidad o espíritu ancestral a ciertos objetos. Para los taínos, dicho espíritu vivía dentro del cemí. Esta versión del arete es de plata esterlina .925.

Según relata el cronista Fray Ramón Pané en su obra Relación acerca de las antigüedades publicada en 1498: "Unos contienen los huesos de su padre… y de sus antepasados; los cuales están hechos de piedra o de madera… algunos que hablan, y otros que hacen nacer las cosas que comen, y otros que hacen llover, y otros que hacen soplar los vientos."

La representación de los cemíes adoptó diversas formas, pero una de las más características es la de los "trigonolitos" que, como su nombre indica, son piezas de piedra labrada con forma triangular, parecido a una montaña. Cemíes de esta forma se encuentran mayormente en el oriente de la República Dominicana y en Puerto Rico.

Este arete está inspirado en una colección de cemíes encontrados en el interior de Puerto Rico. Lo llamativo de este tipo de cemí es su innegable parecido a los picos montañosos del Caribe. Sabemos que para los tainos sus dioses vivían en los picos más altos de las islas, por lo que se ha propuesto que este tipo de cemí representa a la divinidad creadora o a alguna otra fuerza natural.

Cada pieza se fabrica por encargo utilizando la antigua técnica de fundición "Cera Perdida". Por esa razón se le pide 1-2 semanas para la producción de su pieza.

This earring is my version of a Taíno "Cemí". The "Cemí" is a Taíno concept that designates an ancestral deity or spirit to certain objects. For the Taínos, this spirit lived inside the "Cemí". This version is solid sterling silver.

As recounted by the chronicler Fray Ramón Pané in his work "List of Antiquities", published in 1498: "Some contain the bones of his father ... and of his ancestors; which are made of stone or wood ... some that speak, and others that give birth to the things they eat, and others that make it rain, and others that make the winds blow. "

The representation of the "Cemíes" took different forms, but one of the most characteristic is that of the "trigonolites" (three-pointers) which, as their name suggests, are pieces of stone carved with a triangular shape, similar to a mountain. Trigonolite "Cemíes" are found especially in the eastern Dominican Republic and in Puerto Rico.

This earring is inspired by a collection of "Cemíes" found in the interior of Puerto Rico. I was inspired by the shape of these "Cemíes" for their undeniable resemblance to the mountain peaks of the Caribbean. We know that the Taíno gods lived on the highest peaks of the islands, which is why it has been proposed that this type of Cemí represents the divine creator or some other natural force.

Each piece is made to order using the ancient "Lost Wax" casting technique. For this reason, 1-2 weeks are required for the production of your piece.

Great cleaning job!
Color: blooming hibiscus
This cleans your IPhone so it looks like glass. The finger prints do come back as easy. I have given these away and everyone likes them. Better than the cloth.

Simple and Effective Remote Organization
Color: Black, Size: Small
The Pros: Spacious Design: With five deep pockets, there is plenty of room to store everything from TV and soundbar remotes to reading glasses. Functional and Steady: It sits perfectly on a side table without tipping over. It does exactly what I hoped it would do by keeping all our remotes in one spot. Great Portability: It is lightweight enough to move around easily, which is helpful for keeping things organized while we are on the move. Clean Finish: The material looks professional and blends in well with the furniture without looking like a cheap plastic holder. The Cons: Pocket Depth: One thing to keep in mind is that the pockets are fairly deep. If you have very small remotes, they can slide down a bit far, making them slightly trickier to grab quickly. Bottom Line: This is a straightforward, no-fuss solution if you are tired of losing remotes in the couch cushions. It is well-made, looks good, and simply works. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to declutter their living space.

Nice look, perfect size and great price!
Color: Black, Size: Small
Absolutely perfect for 5 remotes. The bins are deep and very wide. It's a very reasonable price and it's compact size fits in smaller spaces so it doesn't take up a lot of room. Also, you can't beat the price and genuine leather. Good in any room.

My remote caddy
Color: Black, Size: Small
I have so many gadgets that uses remotes, my end table looked awful with remotes everywhere and when I would move something, a remote would fall off the table. It was aggravating but now I have a nice caddy to sit on my table and it holds all of my remotes. It's beautifully designed and was shipped to me very quickly. I think it was in my mailbox within 24 hours. I'm very pleased with the item and the person I purchased it from was quick to get it to me. Thank you.
