Alcohol is a disinfectant ( it kills bacteria but not spores) it can be used to clean jewellery you are going to wear so long as it's your jewellery and not someone else's.

Not doing so can lead to cross contamination ( this is how iv drug users contract HIV/aids hepatitis etc by sharing needles ).
