Aretes hechos en Vermeil (Baño de oro 24k sobre plata esterlina sólida .925).

Este arete es mi versión de un cemí taino. 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.

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.

Made in Vermeil (24k gold plating over solid .925 sterling silver).

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".

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 Taino 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.

Magic!
Color: Grey, Size: King (102" X 90")
This comforter is super soft. Almost silky feeling. Very easy to wash and dry. It does as advertised. It keeps me super cool. I love it so much that I bought a second one for my camp. It is so cool to the touch. The fit is true to size. It's not thick but not too thin either.

Bought this for my son and just ordered me one
Color: Grey, Size: Queen (88" X 88")
My son's college apartment runs warm (that is probably because college students trying to save money) so we decided to order him this cooling comforter. I have been wanting one since entering menopause but never bought one for myself (the things we will do for our kids but not ourselves) so when his came in I told him I was going to use it to see if I liked it and if it helped with the night sweats until we met up to give it to him...those three nights of me using it were enough for me to want one. This is a game changer! It is thin like a blanket so we removed the flat sheet and put this under our regular comforter. My husband needs the thickness of our regular comforter because he says I freeze him out at night. This 'comforter' is so soft, fits the bed great (as a blanket or comforter), and is truly cooling. Now, that's not to say I haven't woken up a little on the warm side but all I need to do is readjust to a cool spot under the blanket and I fall right back to sleep. The grey is very light but it is washable as needed.

Perfffff
Color: White, Size: Oversized King, Color: White, Size: Oversized King
So very comfy! I did not expect to love this as much as I do. I was worried about it being too hot. It’s not. I was used to sleeping with a quilt but this is so comforting, the weight of it is so cozy & perfect. I sized up with oversized king for my king size duvet cover. Its so fluffy and perfect for the aesthetic I wanted
