Pepita Flower Ring
Sterling Silver
There is a charming story told of Pepita, a little girl who had no gift for the Baby Jesus. As Pepita walked slowly to the chapel with her cousin Pedro, her heart was filled with sadness rather than joy.
"I am sure, Pepita, that even the most humble gift, if given in love, will be acceptable in His eyes," said Pedro consolingly.
Not knowing what else to do, Pepita knelt by the roadside and gathered a handful of common weeds, fashioning them into a small bouquet. Looking at the scraggly bunch of weeds, she felt more saddened and embarrassed than ever by the humbleness of her offering. She fought back a tear as she entered the small village chapel.
As she approached the alter, she remembered Pedro's kind words: "Even the most humble gift, if given in love, will be acceptable in His eyes." She felt her spirit lift as she knelt to lay the bouquet at the foot of the nativity scene.
Suddenly, the bouquet of weeds burst into blooms of brilliant red, and all who saw them were certain that they had witnessed a Christmas miracle right before their eyes.
From that day on, the bright red flowers were known as the Flores de Noche Buena, or Flowers of the Holy Night, for they bloomed each year during the Christmas season.
Today, the common name for this plant is the poinsettia! This story reminds us that it is not the material value of things that are most important, but how we give in love that matters most.

Jewlery FAQ
How Do I Care for my Jewelry?
Amy Lynn Jewelry is constructed with Sterling Silver (925 (92.5%) a standard for the jewelry industry), Brass, Gold-Filled, and Copper components.
Your jewelry should retain its beautiful luster without any special care. If your favorite piece needs a little brush-up, you can regularly wipe your jewelry clean with a soft polishing cloth to restore its shine. Most purchases include a small polishing cloth. I recommend Sunshine Polishing Cloths. Sterling Silver can be prone to darkening if not worn frequently. Many customers like the look of the natural patina that develops on their metal pieces with time. We recommend cleaning your piece after wear with a soft polishing cloth if you prefer a higher shine.
With any jewelry, care should be taken to avoid lotions or creams, detergent or cleaners, and heavy perfumes. These can alter the finish of jewelry. Some pieces contain vintage items..but with all items, treat these as art and they will last you a very long time.
Take your jewelry off each day before showering, washing dishes, etc. Create a special place or display for it to be stored when not being worn.
