1. Keep Them Dry (this is the rule No.1!)

• Avoid water exposure: Wood can swell, warp, or crack when exposed to moisture for extended periods. Remove your wooden earrings before swimming, showering, or washing your face.
• Store in a dry place: When not wearing them, keep your wooden jewelry in a dry, cool place, such as a jewelry box or a pouch, to avoid exposure to humidity. If you bought your Sick Chick earrings in person at the Farmers Market, summer festival or Christmas show, you were given that cute little pouch, do you remember? :))

2. Store Properly

• Avoid direct sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the wood and colourful paint to fade and dry out. Store your earrings away from windows or direct sunlight.
• Use a jewelry box with compartments: This will protect the earrings from scratches and physical damage. If they’re stored in a pouch, make sure it’s lined with soft material to prevent friction.
• Avoid pressure: Don’t store your earrings where they’ll be squished or bent, as this could cause them to crack or warp.

3. Clean Regularly

• Dusting: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe off dust and dirt. A microfiber cloth works well for this.
• Occasional deep cleaning: If the earrings are noticeably dirty, lightly dampen a cloth with water or a wood-safe cleaner and gently wipe the surface. Avoid soaking them in water or using harsh cleaning chemicals.
• Polishing: Occasionally, use a wood polish or oil specifically designed for wooden jewelry (like mineral oil or jojoba oil). This can help maintain the wood's luster and prevent it from drying out. We only recommend this one for natural jewelry - with no paint.

4. Avoid Chemicals and Cosmetics

• Avoid perfumes and lotions: Spray perfumes or apply lotions before wearing your earrings. These may slightly stain or damage the wood.
• Avoid harsh cleaning chemicals: Never use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals (like bleach) on your wooden earrings, as they can strip the finish or cause discoloration.

5. Be Gentle with Handling

• Handle with care: Wooden earrings are often lightweight but can be fragile. Avoid dropping them or subjecting them to rough handling, as they can break or chip.
• Remove before physical activities: Take off your earrings before engaging in activities where they could get scratched, bent, or damaged, such as intense workouts.

6. Check for Wear and Tear

• Inspect regularly: Over time, wooden earrings can sometimes develop cracks, chips, or wear on the finish. Regularly check for damage, and if necessary, contact us for help, advice or repairs.

7. Avoid Extreme Temperatures

• Keep away from heat sources: High heat can cause the wood to warp or crack. Never leave your earrings in a hot car or near a heat source (like a radiator or stove).
• Avoid freezing temperatures: Similarly, exposing wooden earrings to freezing temperatures can cause the wood to contract and crack 

Locally made in Revelstoke, these earrings are not only beautiful but also hypoallergenic, making them suitable for even the most sensitive ears. 
One of the standout features of these earrings is the use of surgical stainless steel wires. These wires are not only durable but also hypoallergenic, making them a great option for those with metal sensitivities.
​The surgical stainless steel wires ensure that the earrings are comfortable to wear, even for extended periods.

Our friend Layla recently wrote her blog post about her favourite Canadian sustainable brands. Click below to get some inspiration.

"In the 6 years since starting my sustainable jewelry brand, it feels like the world’s focus on sustainability has exploded.
As happy as that makes me, I also know that it’s made it harder to choose which brands to support. How do you know which ones are right for you?
Fortunately, since starting my business, I’ve gotten to know and trust some amazing people, many of them with brands doing great work in the world of sustainability. 
Today, I want to help shine a light on some of these brands, which offer jewelry, but also health products, houseware, apparel, and so much more. 
By supporting any of the brands below, which also happen to all be women-run, you’ll be helping to reduce your environmental footprint, support local economies, and look amazing doing it!"  Layla, Over the Moon Jewelry

As you probably realized - the situation in Ukraine is not getting any better. 
Us two from Sick Chick Designs are originally from Czech Republic.
It means that the war is happening basically 400 km far from our homes.
It is a similar distance like from Revelstoke to Vancouver. Or to Calgary. It sounds scary, right? People & government in Czech are kind and brave and they've already helped more than 200000 Ukrainian people to find asylum or new home.

♡ We decided to do our part as well ♡
​
For a month of March we donated 30 % of all proceeds from our website to the biggest and most trustworthy non-profit organization in Czech "People In Need" ("Clovek v tisni"). 
This organization runs a project called SOS Ukraine. They already sent 7 trains and 13 semi trucks full of drinking water, food, clothes and hygiene products to Ukraine ♡

Thank you Chicks! Stay safe, stay positive, #StandWithUkraine

Sick Chick decided to help Old Growth Revylution and donated WALL CLOCKS to the silent auction which is starting today - August 10th!

The money raised during this auction will go to towards supporting the Old Growth Forest land defenders and help them cover the expenses they will encounter (food, gas, communications, etc.) This art auction also has for mission to spread awareness about the consequences of unsustainable logging practices. It's a call to action, a way to connect everyone together for the cause.

About Old Growth Revylution
As you may know, Old Growth logging is still happening in BC even though there is only less than 2.7% of Old Growth forests remaining. This is catastrophic and we need to act NOW and let the government know we will not let this happen. A group of dedicated people have taken this cause to heart and are actively working to protect our beautiful forests, in the Revelstoke area our forests are part of the last remnants of the globally unique Inland Temperate Rainforest (ITR). They have formed a peaceful blockade at the Big Mouth FSR (120km north of Revelstoke) and have successfully paused the logging activity in that area. They need our support.

The blockade calls on the BC government to protect the biodiversity in our old growth forests and to immediately support forestry workers to a more sustainable forestry economy. First Nations must be included in these goals.

For more information, the goals of the Forest Defenders are the same as the government's own 14 Recommendations from their Strategic Review of How BC Manages Old Forests Within Ancient Ecosystems.
