Yes, I sanitize everything after wearing it outside. If it is not possible, you can just “quarantine” it for a few days in an unused part of the house, however I have only been wearing jewelry that I can sanitize.
Same. I sanitize everything or quarantine it. I have stopped wearing my btw the finger Magic rings for the time being because I can't use hand sanitizer with them. The stones will be ruined.

Do you sanitize your jewelry after wearing it outside?
Tbh I have stopped worrying about this. Studies show its increasingly unlikely to pick up the virus from contaminated surfaces as it appears to be more airborne than anything else. If I had to go to a medical facility for one reason or another I probably would not wear any jewelry, but for a quick trip to the store or for a walk outside I wear it and don’t worry.

This, 100%. Once you take off your jewelry at the end of the day, it would be fine to wear the next morning. I wear earrings and my wedding set mostly when I go out of the house just because I am not going anywhere much but the grocery store!!!

However, I would recommend still using hand sanitizer and washing your hands after going anywhere if you are touching anything, and this would not be good for the maintenance of certain stones. Of course this pertains less to pendants and earrings than bracelets and rings!

Thanks for the replies!! I have been wearing only costume jewelry outside my home and I leave them in the garage for the next few days.

Yes I understand !! I wondered how a 5 or 10 motif gmop would look ... I think some of the tpf crew have those. Maybe they can comment :) I think the single grey mop pendant also has variations but also pink gold. Ultimately it’s what you love that matters. I never thought I’d like the yellow gold 10 motif but when I tried it I really loved it :)

Here’s a 10 motif and a few other grey mop pieces on my newly acquired Gris Etain birkin 25 to match my grey beauties just for reference :)

Hello! I felt like i had to share with you since this thread is the reason i fell in love with Alhambra! I ordered online for the first time. I asked for extra length in my necklace ( it was a mistake since it is way too long on the longest setting now and you lose the shortest setting in the standard chain) it took a bit less than a month. I received gift wrappping even if the announced they wouldn´t include it due to the pandemic, big travel pouch, cleaning cloth and cards. What do you think of my mother of pearl stone? I did not have the opportunity to choose in the store because we don´t have VCA in Spain. Let me know your thoughts. Hugs

Looks really nice! It’s nice they gave you the gift wrapping and the large travel pouch. I got a tiny pouch to put mine in when I got my gray mop shipped from the NYC boutique. Didn’t get a cleaning cloth either!
