Sonic Jewelry Cleaner

Maintaining a clean diamond or other gemstone can sometimes be difficult, as jewellery settings can obstruct cleaning efforts Some people use soapy water and a toothbrush, but a far more convenient solution is to use a sonic jewelry cleaner, together with a specialised ultrasonic cleaning detergent. These use ultrasound waves and chemicals combined to create bubbles that "cling" to the foreign particles such as dirt, oil, and unknown substances. The high frequency ultrasound waves are sent out and pull the contaminants off the object. The bubbles collapse after they attach to the contaminants and move to the surface of the chemical solution creating what appears to be a boiling solution. That solution can be as simple as washing up liquid dissolved in water.

There are things to be aware of, however, that a sonic jewelry cleaner is not recommended for opals, pearls, coral, onyx, lapis lazuli, amber or Emeralds, or any other gemstone that is porous. Gemstones that are glued in (a common practice with semiprecious stones in non-precious methods, and in class rings) should not be placed into an sonic jewelry cleaner. Ultrasonic washers can cause stones that are loose in their settings to come out. Jewellery should always be examined for loose stones prior to cleaning with an ultrasonic cleaner.

This depends on what is going to be cleaned. The higher the frequency the more capable it is to remove very small particles. There are many products on the market today, ranging from expensive professional models to affordable home use units. Which to choose depends on your personal requirement. I have listed some links below to direct you to choosing a Sonic Jewelry Cleaner for home use.
