Q:Dear Diana, I have an ultra-sonic cleaner I bought at my favorite department store, but im not sure which jewelry items are safe to clean in it. I want all my jewelry to be sparkling clean but Im afraid of causing damage. Which gems are safe to clean in it? - C.F. Franklin, NJ
A:Dear C.F,
Thank you for asking such an important question! Although it is nice to own your own ultra-sonic cleaner and clean your jewelry at home, only a few gems are safe for ultra-sonic cleaning. These would include Diamonds, Sapphire and Rubies. Otherwise see your jeweler. Steam or ultra-sonic cleanings are ussually free and can be done while-you-wait. |
