Jewelry Care
14K Gold Filled, Sterling Silver & Gemstones
To keep your Sleeping Calico jewelry looking beautiful for years to come, follow these simple care guidelines:
• Storage: Store your jewelry in a clean, dry place or inside the Sleeping Calico jewelry pouch that is sent with each purchase to help maintain and protect your pieces.
• Polishing: Maintain shine with light polishing to keep your jewelry looking its best.
• Avoid Chemicals: Scented products like perfumes, colognes, and lotions can react with the jewelry and cause discoloration or fading. Body chemistry and moisture, especially with a high skin pH, can also affect the longevity of your pieces.
• Avoid Water Exposure: To preserve your jewelry, avoid wearing it during activities involving water, such as showering, swimming, or beach activities, as chlorine and saltwater can damage it. Always store your jewelry in a dry area when not in use.
• Handling with Care: Friction or contact with hard surfaces can lead to scratches or wear on your jewelry. Handle with care to maintain its beauty.
• Cleaning Items: If necessary, clean with warm water and mild, fragrance-free soap. Gently pat dry with a clean cotton or microfiber cloth. Avoid jewelry cleaners that contain chemicals, as they can slowly wear and fade your jewelry over time.
Following these simple steps will help ensure the longevity and beauty of your jewelry, keeping it looking as stunning as the day you received it!
Oxidized Metals & Specialty Finishes
• Avoid polishing or washing, as this can remove the protective wax coating and alter the metal’s finish. This applies to Gold Vermeil and Rose Gold Vermeil as well.
