Calli Co Silver's New Solid Gold and Turquoise Jewelry
At Calli Co Silver, we take great pride in offering high-quality, artisan-created jewelry. While our sterling silver and turquoise pieces are handmade by talented silversmiths, we want to ensure our customers understand that our new 14k solid yellow gold jewelry is artisan handmade by skilled jewelers but is not Native American made.
This new collection features timeless, heirloom-quality designs that highlight the beauty of solid gold and turquoise in a way that complements our signature style. If you’re investing in 14k gold jewelry, it’s important to know how to properly care for it to ensure it remains a cherished part of your collection for years to come.
Unlike gold-plated or gold-filled jewelry, 14k yellow gold is made entirely of gold alloyed with other metals for added strength and durability. This makes it an excellent choice for everyday wear, as it resists tarnishing, maintains its luster, and can last a lifetime with proper care. Most fine jewelry (such as engagement rings) are made from 14K gold.
How to Care for Your 14k Solid Gold Jewelry
To keep your 14k gold jewelry looking as radiant as the day you got it, follow these care tips:
1. Regular Cleaning
Gold jewelry naturally collects dirt and oils over time. Clean it regularly using a soft polishing cloth. If your piece features a stone, avoid liquids.
2. Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Chemicals found in cleaning products, perfumes, lotions, and even chlorine from pools can cause damage. Remove your jewelry before using household cleaners or swimming to prevent dullness or discoloration.
3. Store Properly
When not wearing your gold jewelry, store it in a soft pouch or a lined jewelry box to avoid scratches. Keeping pieces separate prevents them from rubbing against each other and reduces the risk of damage.
4. Remove Before Physical Activities
While 14k gold is durable, it can still get scratched or bent. Take off your jewelry before engaging in activities like exercising, gardening, or heavy lifting to maintain its pristine condition.
5. Professional Maintenance
Every now and then, consider having your gold jewelry professionally cleaned and inspected. This ensures that any settings, clasps, or stones remain secure and in perfect condition.
