Cleaning Jewellery With An Ultrasonic Cleaner

Jewellery picks up dirt from every day wear. A piece of jewellery may not look as though it has but often when you start to clean and see the results you realize that it was in need of a clean.

A few weeks ago, we brought a small ultrasonic cleaner. Having looked at them before and were not too convinced that they would clean better than by hand. But we saw this small model at a good price and thought we would give it a try.

Well we should have brought one before now. It brings jewellery up a treat. New looking and shiny.

The first sunflower brooch we tried to clean, we actually thought was gold plated and had been worn. This is the brooch - a sunflower - It came clean and looks like new

So now converted and slowly working our way through all our jewellery on our website

An ultrasonic cleaner works with ultrasonic waves through water. So not suitable for some pieces of jewellery but ideal for many rings, brooches, necklaces and chains. Bangles and bracelets.
