Can I clean pearls safely with this?

No; use the "Delicate" brand, specifically for semi-precious stones, pearls, and costume jewelry.

Definitely use only the Pearl formula. I would not soak the pearls, but would dip a soft cloth and gently clean the pearls, then use another soft cloth, dampen with water and clean off any residue. Give a final soft rub with a dry soft cloth.

Yes the Ivation IVUC96W Digital can clean silver & gold. Use coution for jewelry with stones. All Ultrasonic cleaners can cause stones to come loose! Use lowest power setting for jewelry w/stones!!

The cleaning tank in this unit has plenty of room for your necklace. The great thing about sonic cleaners are that as long as the object you are cleaning is submerged in the cleaning liquid it will clean it.

You might ask your local jeweler if they clean pearls in an ultrasonic cleaner or if it will damage the pearl. I imagine you can but am unsure of any damage since pearls are not metal or stone/crystal like most jewelery.

The part that is tarnished is the part that goes through your ear, correct? Then that part is likely silver or silver-plate. That part would probably be ok. As for the faux pearls, it probably won't harm those either. This product is a clear liquid, so you could use an eye dropped to put the silve cleaner just where you want it (and not on the faux pearls).

I would be cautious. I do not recommend soaking unless you are sure the item is sterling or 10 k gold or more quality. I've had success using cotton swab to test and gently cleaning. Remember to also wipe solution off with water and dry completely as possible.

I believe it does loosen stones and jewels that are glued on. I had a pearl fall off one of my rings that I dipped and cleaned. I do not leave anything in the cleaner for more than 5 seconds either because I'm afraid. Wear gloves and rinse well!

Yes that should work fine, you might want to purchase the moisture absorbing blocks. I've heard pearls don't do good. Put your not putting them in there anyway.

Just hit the answer: NO!Use it until it is full of tarnish then purchase a new one. It is infused with a cleaning element that would be destroyed by washing.

I would not risk it. I find that it is a strong detergent. The quality of your water can influence results too. Saying that though, I do not put my sterling in the dishwasher. I suggest that you experiment with just one piece.

Yes, it is safe for your ring. It is meant to use with water and detergent. If you do use it with any other cleaning solution just make sure it is safe for semi-precious stones when cleaning your sapphires.

Amanda, to my knowledge it isn't a good idea to use any chemical cleaner on jewelry with glued in stones. That said, you can use a Q-tip to clean the medal part and not immersing the item completely as the instructions say. Another way to clean jewelry without chemicals is by rubbing toothpaste on the item, then rinsing off with water.

No. Never use a "stone" in one of these, as a rule of thumb. It'll make the pearl disintegrate.

noooooo, the pressure is too great. sonic cleaner is best for most gemstones. or u can use ammonia water on them with a soft bristle brush. do not use ammonia on coral, jade those types of gemstones it will damage them.

Yes, I have used several jewelry cleaners & Blitz Gem is definitely one of the better cleaners & very gentile for delicate chains, as well as pearls, etc. I was referred by someone about this product, and would recommend purchasing it. My jewelry definitely sparkles. I hope I answered your question.

I don't have an answer for you as I only have tried the Pearl model (and I really do love it) Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
