Hello State Directors,

I hope you’re doing well during this busy pageant season. As many of you know, Holly Hardwick Crowns has proudly partnered with the Miss America Organization for nearly 40 years—most recently as the official provider of jewelry and badges.

I’m reaching out with an idea that could help support and fund your upcoming pageants. Consider offering our products at your next event. Directors can receive 30% off Crown Jewelry on purchases of $600 or more, giving you the opportunity to resell these items to participants and generate additional revenue.

This is a simple way to make your event feel even more special while giving your titleholders something they’ll truly treasure.

I’d love to help you personalize your order to best suit your needs. Let’s create something beautiful together.

Please see the attachments for more details, and don’t hesitate to reach out if we can be of service.

Check your open order status for USPS

The Internet Tax Freedom Act (ITFA), which was signed into law on October 21, 1998, does not, as some have asserted, preclude sales and use taxes on any and all commerce conducted over the Internet. State and local governments are allowed to impose sales and use taxes on all such electronic sales, provided that the tax (and its rate) are the same as that which would be imposed on the transactions if they were conducted in a more traditional manner, such as over the phone or through mail order.

However, until the ITFA imposes a law requiring taxation on internet sales, we will not be imposing it.

Find Your Ring Size with Our Handy Printable Guide.

As the owner and designer of the top crown and tiara website, here are the exclusive tips I give to all my customers:

1. Never touch the stones, always pick up the crown with two hands to place on your head or in a crown case. Never pick up a crown with one hand. The oils in your hands can dull the stones. Grasp the crown between the thumb and 4 fingers at the top and bottom edge of the rhinestone chain. This will keep your stones sparkling forever.

2. The silver finish on crowns is usually sterling silver plate that will tarnish if left out to the elements, just like any sterling silver item. When not in use, keep your crown in our new Crown Anti-Tarnish Bags which protects them from tarnishing. If you find your crown has turned dark on the inside, we recommend using our Crown Care Cloths. Furthermore, keep them in a airtight box or choose from one of our lovely Crown Cases.

3. A crown should be carried upright, not on its side, when possible. However, if your case requires you to carry from the side, you need to pad it properly with bubble wrap or something similar all around the sides of the crown, or create a domed center.

3. If you feel that the stones have gotten dull from not following these rules, here are some to follow. (NEVER IMMERSE OR TREAT CROWNS WITH ANY LIQUIDS)

A) Always clean them before and after using them, and try not to use hand soap, lotion or cream while you handle the crown otherwise fingerprints will remain on the metal and eventually with many uses you imagine how it will look?

B) Always have your hair done a couple of hours before wearing the crown, hair lacquer, gels, mousse, etc, are the number one jewelry enemy, even on gold.

C) After each use we recommend you use a Crown Cleaning Cloths that is impregnated with a tarnish retardant that not only will take the dust and grease off from the crown but will prevent the tarnish, this will also work for any pieces of jewelry. We now offer a complete line of crown care products. Go to "Crown R/X"

Enjoy and care for your crown!

Royally, Holly H. Hardwick

Has silver and other jewelry ever left greenish or black marks on your skin? It's happened to most of us at least once or twice. While there is no single answer to why certain pieces of jewelry will turn your skin green, there are a few possible culprits.

1. Sweat from your finger reacts with the metal on the ring. This means that the metal begins to break down into microscopic fragments, which then wear off onto your skin as you perspire.

2. Metallic abrasion. Tiny metal particles, the result of makeup chemicals coming into contact with jewelry being worn close to the skin, can form black dust and result in discoloration.

3. You may have a slight allergic to the type of metal on the ring. The fragments mix with the natural metals, minerals and chemicals of the body and turn green or bluish-green depending on the wearer�s specific body chemistry.

4. You may have washed your hands with soap that does not react well the metal on your ring. This is usually caused by a chemical reaction between a chemical and the alloy in the metal. Make-up, hand creams, lotions, perfume, etc. can all react with the alloy.

Ways to Eliminate Skin Discoloration

Remove any rings before you wash or put lotion on your hands.

Avoid wearing jewelry while cleaning, exercising, gardening, swimming or showering.

Coat the jewelry with clear nail polish where it touches your skin. We recommend Sally Hansen Hard As Nails. This should only be done if you always show discoloration of the skin.

Keep your jewelry clean and tarnish-free.
