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.

We love this toy!!
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1), Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
I can’t say enough good things about the Pet Qwerks Pig Ear! As I’m typing this review, one of my dogs is currently chewing it and the other is watching hoping to have a turn next! It is very durable and holds up well to almost constant chewing from labs. Everywhere we go in the house, the chew is always carried along! If visits the house, the dogs come running showing off their pig ear proudly! We absolutely recommend this toy for heavy chewers and busy pups!

Love these treat rings!
My giant dogs go through almost any chew toy in seconds. We decided to try the Busy Buddy bones with the treat rings that can be replaced after the dogs decimate the treats. We love the rings and have them set up for auto delivery. I find that it gives my pups a solid hour of chewing time and mental stimulation as they try to get the ring off of the Busy Buddy toy. One of my dogs has a sensitive stomach - and we have no issues at all with peanut flavored rings. Highly recommend.
