Covid and Jewels: How to Disinfect Our Precious Items

Let's start with an important premise: jewelry does not transmit Covid ! Although there are some theories that objects and documents could retain particles of the virus, thus becoming vehicles, our jewelry, if carefully cared for, does not put us at any risk.

Obviously, necklaces and earrings are the least "dangerous" in this sense, since they are in contact exclusively with our skin and the air.
As for bracelets and rings, however, it is better to be a little more careful, even if, generally speaking, taking care of our personal hygiene is enough to be at ease.

But if the thought of wearing the same jewelry inside and outside the house makes you a little anxious, don't worry: by following our simple advice you can sanitize your precious items every day!

Covid and Jewels: How to Disinfect Our Precious Items

Easy daily cleaning

What you need? Water, neutral soap, a cloth and a drop of alcohol to disinfect. If we are in a hurry, it will be enough to clean our jewelry with a cloth moistened with this solution to remove all germs and bacteria. If instead we want a deeper cleaning, we immerse our precious items in a basin of water, soap and alcohol solution, leaving them to soak. Just one precaution: it is better to prefer warm water.

We also use a damp (and well wrung out!) cloth to clean watches and chronographs. It is essential to be very careful not to risk ruining the mechanism!

Beware of pearls and precious stones

Please note: never use bleach or ammonia to clean jewelry with pearls and precious stones! The risk is to ruin our precious items irreparably. In this case, let's rely on water and neutral soap. They will do their job, without needing to add anything else.
