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.

Phenomenal.
Got a baaaaad sunburn from head to toe. On day 2 or 3, I finally got this stuff. It took the sting away quickly. No smell, and it feels nice on the skin. It’s thin and spreads well. Definitely helped keep my burns moisturized - I didn’t even peel, save for the blisters on my shoulders. My boy even let me put it on his pink little cheek, and

Miracle in a bottle!
This was a lifesaver, I got badly burnt just walking for several miles one day. It was only in the 80's, not 100 degree's but still hot. Where I live there is a poor air quality, too. I was red as a lobster! It was painful and then i saw this. Read the reviews and hoped it would help. Did it ever! It not only helped sooth my skin, calm it down, it dramatically reduced the redness in just a few days! I should have saved the photo's of the before a several days after, but I deleted them. (I wasn't thinking and they were kind of gross). They would have shown the extent of the healing thanks to this cream. I even had some blisters, that shrank in two days after applying this! By the fourth day of applying this cream, they were gone and my skin went from being deep red to pink. What is even more awesome is this moisturized my skin! I have sensitive skin and this did not irritate it. So that was a plus! My only issue was it's a little tacky, sticky after you apply it. So don't apply right before bed, unless you want to be stuck to your sheets. If you're in dire need of relief and to reduce the redness, this is what you want, it is a miracle in a bottle!

Good sunscreen
I originally had purchased the spray version of this product. Unfortunately, the cans clogged so I needed to return them and I ordered this instead. It tends to go on thick but I really need heavy protection so it’s fine. Seems to give good protection and I will buy it again. I’m only giving up four stars because I would’ve preferred the spray.

Long lasting. Excellent protection.
We took a trip to Florida from DC. Through full days at Disney and days on the beach, no one had even the slightest sunburn. We made sure to apply it at regular intervals, and that seemed to work amazingly. The texture wasn’t greasy at all, and the kids seem to have no problem putting it on themselves. It was very water resistant and seemed to last long in the pool. No overtly noticeable fragrances.
