	April is Jewelry Check-up Month!
	April has been established as the first annual Jewelry Check-Up Month by the National Jewelry Security Association (NJSA). When you have fine sterling silver jewelry pieces like the Quilter's Jewelry we sell at Hillstar House, proper maintenance and regular inspections will help prevent damage and weakness. According to Cindy Ritzi, president and founder of the NJSA, “Jewelry worn for years without maintenance is the number one cause of loss, even above theft…Millions of dollars in jewelry are lost each year because people don’t take the time to have it regularly inspected.” Jewelry is a valuable investment that should receive frequent cleaning and care to avoid the loss and heartbreak that accompanies the damage of a favorite piece of jewelry.

Featured Artist

Tommie J. Lane

TJ (Tommie) Lane learned metalworking at the University of Arizona in Tucson in the early 1960s. She loved the class so much that she repeated it three times! TJ was a public school teacher before she began making jewelry full time. She taught silversmithing privately and at community college and wrote articles for Lapidary Journal and other magazines on silversmithing techniques, including how to make a thimble.

She has been making Sterling Silver and 18K gold jewelry and thimbles since those first meatalworking classes. When Tommie first offered her thimbles for sale, quilter and collectors were immediately attracted to her bequtiful, lightweight, comfortable thimbles and creative sewing tools.

Thimbles by T.J. Lane will be available at Hillstar House website on May 7, 2012
