I have some fake pearl pierced earrings which hang off a fake black stone. The posts and backing have tarnished. Will this product damage them?

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).

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 am not sure. If the metal is black in color in some cases the color will fade to reveal the actual metal color. The cleaning works instantly.

This solution should not damage the metal. However, some artificial stones do not tolerate silver cleaning solutions very well. I would suggest that you take the cap from a water bottle or juice bottle, and place a bit of this solution in it. You can then put the tip of the post in the solution, without placing the entire earring in it. Once you are done, just quickly rinse with water, and pat dry. No matter what you use this for, it only needs a few seconds to clean jewelry. Don't walk away. If you leave metal too long in the solution, it with start to strip the shine or sheen from the metal. You don't need more that 45 seconds; usually less than that to fully polish your jewelry, and make it look sparkling new. This is a great product. If you are still concerned about damaging your posts, you can put toothpaste on a paper towel, and rub the posts. It does pretty well at removing most tarnish. Hope this helps.

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

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.

I would think they would tarnish if used in water. Sterling doesn't tarnish if you wear it in a shower-do dishes, but these are not Sterling. They are nice but just plated.

I'm sorry I don't have the expertise to answer that question, but any competent jeweler should be able to tell you. I know there are certain stones that are not recommended to be used in an ultrasonic cleaner, and especially costume jewelry where the stones are held in place with an adhesive do not fair well ( personal experience) but well mounted stones should not be a problem. When in doubt, a professional jeweler should be consulted.

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.

Absolutely, This acrylic holder works great for all the types of my earrings. I would recommend trying this holder. I love it.

No I would not put pearls in there or in any other harsh cleaner. If there is no way you can clean it without getting it on the pearls I would take to a jeweler.

It would work. I just compared my silver jewelry on it and then on black cloth. I thought the jewelry looked better on the black. It might depend on the lighting you have in your area. Hope this helps.

No!!! I used it on my other jewelry after learning it doesn't work for sterling jewelry it leaves this very dull finish on it. Looks bad. :-(

I don't *think* so. I'm not sure, but the copper does tarnish a bit, which is what I would expect if they were not coated.

I'm not a jeweler but I wouldn't recommend it. I use extreme caution when using metal polishing cloths on stones. depending on how porous the stone is, the chemicals from the cloth could make the stone brittle or discolored.

I accidentally glued a glass piece of jewelry to my glass table top and it dried to solidly that I ruined the tabletop. I would say it works well on glass to glass and be careful not to spill the glue!

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 think so, maybe using a cotton ball. I have only used it on jewelry though.

I wouldn't risk that. I was plating cheap costume jewelry. Wouldn't mess with nice items.
