The ongoing pandemic has made us rethink almost all our preCOVID ways of doing things. From how you buy groceries to what you wear, everything requires handling with gloves, masks and a sanitiser. This means, being mindful of even the studs, string of beads, band of rings, you wear to enliven that work from home Zoom call or webinar you are attending. Here, industry experts offer advice on how to take care of your jewellery items, so these don’t become a medium to carry the virus we are trying so hard to fight.
