Is this safe for pearls and other delicate stones?

It does not specify types of jewelry. It just says Necklaces, rings, earrings and bracelets. I personally have used it on some birth stone pieces.

Because you should not put your pearls in water, I would not recommend using any cleaning method using water.

Yes. But my daughters had some of the pearls fall off only a few days after using it.

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 don't see how it would harm anything, but I have only used it for sterling and plated silver serving pieces and jewelry. Why not write Hagerty at te address on the jar and ask the experts?

Yes, it is safe for your ring. Add a couple drops of liquid dish soap to plain warm water. I use it for eyeglasses and watch bands also. Just make sure to place your watch on the holder and only the band is submersed. I would use it on costume jewelry that has the stones glued in. This ultrasonic cleaner does the same great job as the expensive ultrasonic cleaner we used at the Optical Lab where I was employed many years ago.

Pearls, whether natural or artificial, should only be cleaned with water. In fact, they should not be exposed to perfumes and hairspray. I wear pearl necklaces often and will rinse them under warm water if I've been perspiring. Any bodily oils and perspiration will, in time, wear down the nacre of natural pearls. Enjoy your pearl jewelry, whether artificial or natural. They both require careful treatment.

I Have not ever worked with stones, but it works very well on towels. Don't see a reason why it wouldn't work.

The directions say to, yes. You could probably get a couple uses out of it if your jewelry isn't too dirty.

Yes; using it without thoroughly soaking it first will damage the stone and/or your knife.

I've not tried to use it to clean silver, as I purchased Brilliant's Silver Cleaner to do mine. It worked really well for silver. This product does just as well for gemstones and gold jewelry.

I would not recommend it, stone is somewhat degradable. Maybe if you use the coarser side of the stone.

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.

It should work fine,but one word of caution. I bought this for my son and he said after about ten uses the stones seemed worn out. Like the diamonds had come off.

I've used diluted jewelry cleaner solution in the machine to clean gold and precious stones and the result is great. Just remember to rinse the items in water and then polish them with a soft cloth.

Yes, that is why I got it, for the intricate areas in my rings. Earings, too. I usually do two cycles and sometimes also brush with toothpaste, and a jeweler checked my rings for stone setting safety and remarked on how clean I kept my rings. Amazing what comes out in the water, but I don't do it as often as I should.
