Ultrasonic Cleaning of Jewellery - Look after your Designer Jewellery

Care of and Ultrasonic Cleaning of Jewellery

This is a short guide we have put together on the care of your jewellery once you have purchased it from us. It is important to store your jewellery carefully away in the presentation box it arrived in. We would also recommend keeping the small plastic sleeve too for that extra protection in order to avoid serious tarnishing of silver. If for some reason tarnishing does occur then do consider an ultrasonic cleaner for that as new finish.

An excellent way to keep your jewellery in great condition at home is ultrasonic cleaning. This special unit uses ultrasound waves with frequency higher than frequency audible to the human ear. Let's not get into technical details of how it works but how to use it. A standard household ultrasound cleaner consists of a metal tank with a removable basket. All you need is to:

fill the tank with water or cleaning solution (optionally). Put your jewellery in the basket and take it out in a few minutes clean and sparkling.

However, not all ultrasound cleaners remove tarnish from metals. For that purpose they come equipped with separate tanks for dipping of jewellery into tarnish-removing solution.

Some gemstones are not ‘ultrasound-friendly’. Among the materials that can be damaged by ultrasound cleaning are:

• Pearl

• Mother-of-pearl

• Opal

• Topaz

• Turquoise

• Emerald

• Peridot

• Emerald

Avoid ultrasound cleaning with any gemstones containing flaws. Always follow all the operating instructions for your cleaning machine. Here are some general precautions to consider when using an ultrasound cleaner:

• Never turn on your cleaner when it does not have water in it.

• Use only special ultrasonic cleansing solution formulated for cleaning in your machine. Using other cleansers can seriously damage your machine.

• Never leave the machine running unattended or in the reach of children.

• Unplug the machine before opening the lid and removing the basket and jewellery.
