This worked for me on sapphire crystal and diamonds, but I am not sure it would work for other gems.

It should...I don't buy this for jewelry, I buy it to clean my crystal chandelier, and I am not sure what metal that is!

I have used this on gold chains, but not silver and not on gold-plated jewelry. It does work on gold chains if you let it soak a minute or two, then use the scrub brush.

I never tried that combination, I would try a scrap test 1st. Hope that helps

Because it is metal and absolutely flat, I can't see why it wouldn't. My pieces are steel over copper. Perhaps if you have one with aluminum, it might not.

Not for sure. I have sold Native American jewelry which is all silver. I think properly cleaning and displaying on the cloth should get you a long way in keeping the silver tarnish resistant.

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

This is fine on any kind of silver. And Goddards also makes a liquid that is meant to clean fork tines. However, it can also be useful for dipping intricate pieces of jewelry into the container. Magic. A product that is superb for cleaning dirty silver and any kind of gold or silver jewelry is WENOL. Every home, in my opinion, should have a tube of this product on hand. Good luck.

Chances are no. I can't say definitively because I've never tried it. This kit was made for melting lead. (melting point 650 F) and I use it for working with pewter (tin, melting point 450 F). Silver requires around 1500 F to melt. This kit is inexpensive and works well for what it was designed for. It *might* heat up hot enough for silver, maybe, but it will likely burn out quickly and stop working. Silver smelters cost more because they get a lot hotter and require a better construction to handle the heat. If you're making silver jewelry you will also want a finer set of tools. The size of this smelter (I melt a couple lbs at a time) requires more in materials to be manageable. Pewter and lead are inexpensive. I would want a smaller smelter for silver and do it in ounces.

Yes. It will detect gold very well. If you use discriminate, set it at a low setting for detecting smaller things like rings, ear rings etc. You might find yourself digging some trash but you won't miss thin pieces of jewelry. In very low trash areas I stay on the all metal settings. Good luck....Kit

Yes. This unit works great. The only thing I would say is be careful with silver plated items. Do not leave them in for an extended period as the ultrasound works so well, it can begin to take off the silver plating. I wore out my first unit after many years of use and bought a this unit. It works wonderfully! It takes tarnish off of old silver jewelry in seconds. You can watch the process. It is amazing to watch. Well priced and just as described. I use mine all the time.

Yes it can. The gold plates to only a select set of metals but does not plate gems.

I have used for both gold and silver and all my jewelry is tarnish free. I feel they work well for both.

I use my for home pluming jobs. I'm not sure if it works with silver soldering.

I know you can use it on gold and diamonds because I use it all the time on my gold and diamonds so I am pretty sure you can use it on copper. This is the best cleaner I have used so far. It makes my diamond and gold rings sparkle and shine. A Walmart customer who bought this cleaner said this about the product: Blitz Gem & Jewellery Cleaner is ideal for Cleaning Gold Jewellery, Platinum ... household Metal Surfaces such as Stainless Steel, Chrome, Brass & Copper.

Lauren. It would work well on silver and gold. I am not sure on the other three metals but people polish rocks with them so I don't see why not.
