Ultrasonic cleaners remove dirt from tight crevices quickly, which is why some retailers love them. For plated and stone-set fashion jewelry, the same vibration can shorten a piece’s life dramatically.
How They Work
High-frequency sound waves create bubbles that collapse against the surface and lift debris. The action reaches places a cloth cannot, such as under prongs and inside links. The same force acts on plating layers and adhesives, not just dirt.

What to Keep Out
Keep plated pieces out, since vibration accelerates wear at contact points. Never clean pearl, enamel or soft natural stone ultrasonically. Avoid glued channel settings, which can loosen under repeated cavitation.
