It states that it should not be used on "some genuine stones". Which would those be? I need to clean a ring with emeralds and diamonds.

My wife has used it for years and loves it she has never had problems with any stones.

That's a great question, but unfortunately, I don't know the answer because I've only used it on silver coins. Sorry.

Organic gemstones such as pearls, amber, coral, and ivory should not be cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner or cleaned with an abrasive or ammonia based cleaner. Your emeralds and diamonds should be just fine if they are in a sturdy setting.A good discussion of the do's and don'ts of this topic, including your emeralds, is available at the site All About Gemstones, here: http://www.allaboutgemstones.com/jewelry_cleaning.html

I think that most jewelry cleaners such as this can be used on most semi precious gems such as sapphires. I have cleaned mine with it and it looks great with no damage. Never every clean opals or pearls with this type of product. be careful about the length of time that you leave jewelry in this product or any such cleaners as they do remove a thin layer of gold and the shiner layer that they now put on white gold to make it shiny. soak it for a short time then brush it. wet it again and pull it out.. wash with water afterwards. have a great day ..

I use honing fluid with the diamond stone. It will keep the filings from building up in the stone.

hi,my first thought was ,just like woolite,joy dish deterjent.but it does clean without building bubbles,and unlike other jewelry cleaners,you can use this with fine,gemstones or costume jewelry.although it does warn against cleaning porous or 'delecate' jewelry. this i believe ,is because it can also remove some of the 'glue' and therefore cause an item to 'brek' or come apart,i did this to a brooch(i cleaned 3 x in a row-super concentrated-i learned my lesson).however no ingredients are listed,quite likely it is a baking soda and borax,but possibly you can find out from manufacturer which is "blitz manufacturing company,inc. jeffersonville,in 47130.i hope this helps. hi,my first thought was ,just like woolite,joy dish deterjent.but it does clean without building bubbles,and unlike other jewelry cleaners,you can use this with fine,gemstones or costume jewelry.although it does warn against cleaning porous or 'delecate' jewelry. this i believe ,is because it can also remove some of the 'glue' and therefore cause an item to 'brek' or come apart,i did this to a brooch(i cleaned 3 x in a row-super concentrated-i learned my lesson).however no ingredients are listed,quite likely it is a baking soda and borax,but possibly you can find out from... » Read More hi,my first thought was ,just like woolite,joy dish deterjent.but it does clean without building bubbles,and unlike other jewelry cleaners,you can use this with fine,gemstones or costume jewelry.although it does warn against cleaning porous or 'delecate' jewelry. this i believe ,is because it can also remove some of the 'glue' and therefore cause an item to 'brek' or come apart,i did this to a brooch(i cleaned 3 x in a row-super concentrated-i learned my lesson).however no ingredients are listed,quite likely it is a baking soda and borax,but possibly you can find out from manufacturer which is "blitz manufacturing company,inc. jeffersonville,in 47130.i hope this helps. « Show Less

Oh yeah, any stone works. The diamonds are really really hard...go wet, much better overall.

I am not sure but I have used it on a silver ring with a red stone and it did not damage it. I also used a toothbrush to clean the ring instead of dipping it in the container. I hope that helps.

I would assume so - artificial diamonds are structurally as tough as real ones, and the cleaning action is from the agitation of the water molecules and micro-particles of dirt. The crystal itself wouldn't 'feel' anything unusual. I would check with a jeweler though, to be absolutely sure.

It's for gems & gold mostly. for silver, you need a tarnish removal cream or solvent. But, for gold, this is great!

No, this Diamond Tester tests only diamonds. There are other methods of testing other gemstones, but you wouldn't use this item for that.

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 use a polishing cloth and once a month cleaning solution. I recently had to have the tines tightened because the stone seemed loose and actually fell out.

Jose-- The product is a wax, and it's for chrome faucets and plumbing fixtures. My suggestion would be that it might therefore only serve to gum up your items with bits of wax. I think you'd be happier with a jewel cleaner. I have no knowledge as to which jewel cleaner to chose. Tom

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.

If It is gold you do not need this, also I am sure this is not recommended for gold. It is great for silver. I clean my wifes gold by letting it soak in hot water with dish detergent. then scrub with an old tooth brush. the gold and diamonds sparkle after that.

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

I found the stone to be one of the worse diamond stones that I have ever used. I threw it in the recycle bin. Maybe it can be turned into something useful.

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.
