WELCOME
This month's newsletter is going to focus on sterling silver jewelry care. My sterling silver jewelry is the best quality available. But, if you don't care for it properly, it won't last. I include a care card with each piece of jewelry I make, but I realize that not every one reads the card (LOL!) and those who read it might not understand the reasons behind the suggestions. So here we go...
Sterling Silver Jewelry Care 101
1. “Store your silver jewelry in a cool, dry place.” Sterling silver will tarnish; it is a fact of life. You can, however, slow down the process by wearing it and storing it properly. Huh? Wearing your jewelry on a regular basis will actually coat the silver with oils from your skin and slow down the oxidation. Storing it in a cool, dry place will minimize the moisture available to react with the silver when it is not being worn. ...Read more...
July's Birthstone is the RUBY
Ruby is the birthstone for July and the 15th and 40th wedding anniversary stone. Historically, the ruby is associated with royalty, love and vividness, passion and power.

ABOUT - Beaded Royalty
I started Beaded Royalty because I wanted to work, but still be at home with my son. What began as a way to make extra money has blossomed into a busy online business with customers all over the world.
Before Joshua was born, I was a Project Manager in the pharmaceutical industry. I enjoyed research and loved writing so I started a blog. If you are interested in learning more about sterling silver beaded jewelry, visit Handmade Sterling Jewelry.
My son is an only child. It was a difficult decision made more difficult by the lack of information on HOW to raise an only child successfully. I started a blog called the Only Child Option to aid other parents who are trying to make a similar decision. I also hope to share the knowledge I gain through my experiences.
Be sure to enjoy what's left of the summer. It will be gone before you know it!
Blessings,
Alicia E. Staz
