About Scapular: We wear scapulars because they were given to us by the Blessed Mother along with a promise.These scapulars are a sign of devotion to Mary and faithfulness to Christ. According to Catholic tradition, Our Lady gave the scapular to St. Simon Stock, the Father General of the Carmelite order, in the thirteenth century. Mary appeared to St. Simon in a vision, held out a scapular and said to him, ' . . . he who dies in this will not suffer eternal fire. Wearing a scapular can actually help prepare you to receive grace and therefore help you grow in holiness! Mary Our Mother gives us, her children, the gift of the scapular as both a sign and a tool for us to help us grow closer to her Son, which is always her desire. Each item is carefully shipped in a beautiful gift bag and organza pouch, bubble wrapped and well protected. I have many items for the Best Beautiful Handmade Beadworks. Please come look! A lot of my jewelry is made with silver plated and gold plated solid brass or 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 in to 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.
