About Our Lady of Guadalupe:
On the morning of December 9, 1531, a native American peasant named Juan Diego saw a vision of a maiden at a place called the Hill of Tepeyac, which would become part of Villa de Guadalupe, a suburb of Mexico City. Speaking to him in his native Nahuatl language (the language of the Aztec empire), the maiden identified herself as the Virgin Mary, "mother of the very true deity"[ and asked for a church to be built at that site in her honor.
Historically the devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe did not lack clerical opponents within Mexico, especially in the early years, and in more recent times some Catholic scholars, and even a former abbot of the basilica, Monsignor Guillermo Schulenburg, have openly doubted the historical existence of Juan Diego. Nonetheless, Juan Diego was canonized in 2002, under the name Saint Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin.

It is carefully shipped in a beautiful gift bag and organza pouch, bubble wrapped and well protected.

A lot of my jewelry is made with silver plated and gold plated solid brass or any other metal. It will tarnish or darken over time because the silver reacts with oxygen in the air. This is perfectly normal but you can remove any marks by gently polishing the metal with a soft dry cloth. ‰۬‰۬
Please store necklaces by suspending them to avoid kinks or bends in the wire.‰۬‰۬
Store your earrings, bracelets, and rings into the organza pouch.
Many of my items are made with glass beads, so they can break or chip if dropped onto a hard surface.
Follow the suggested guidelines below to get the most enjoyment out of all your trendy beaded accessories! ‰۬‰۬‰۬
Steps to Care for your Beautiful Beads and jewelry:
Step 1. Keep your accessory away from the following as much as possible:‰۬
a. Water, lotion, perfume, or other harsh chemicals‰۬
b. NEVER wear your accessories in the pool or ocean‰۬
c. When NOT wearing, keep in a jewelry box or pouch. ‰۬
Step 2. Do not use soap/water or jewelry cleaner to clean your beads. I recommend that you wipe softly with a dry cloth. ‰۬
