As Coronavirus can remain active on surfaces and objects for days at a time, sanitising everything we possibly can should become second nature at this point in time - and yes, that includes your accessories!
As Coronavirus can remain active on surfaces and objects for days at a time, sanitising everything we possibly can should become second nature at this point in time. When washing our hands for a minimum of 30 seconds, naturally we may remove any jewellery and set it aside, and then place it back on our hands after.
The first step is to simply wash your rings separately with an antibacterial wash, for the same amount of time you would wash your hands . Laura Lambert ofsays: “For sapphire, ruby, aquamarine, garnet and diamond jewellery, washing your hands often with soap is great, but can cause a layer of soap and dirt to build up behind a gemstone.
Laura advises: “For sapphire, ruby, aquamarine, garnet and diamond jewellery, generally speaking, contact with an alcohol-based hand sanitiser will not damage your gemstone. However, once the alcohol in the hand sanitiser solution has evaporated, there is a chance that a residual film layer will contribute to dulling the brilliance of the gemstone. It is hence recommended to soak the ring in lukewarm soapy water and then rinse it with clear cold water to remove any surface layer.
The bottom line is, we must clean, sanitise, wash and disinfect our way through this pandemic without missing the intricate stuff. We do not have to do away with anything that we are unsure of how to manage, including jewellery. As Laura puts it, “In times of crisis it is inspiring to look at beautiful things that remind us that life can be beautiful”.
