Can you clean jewelry in an ultrasonic cleaner?

1 min read
Quick answer: Ultrasonic cleaner: Yes for simple gold jewelry and diamonds. Never for pearls, opals, emeralds or glued-in stones.

Yes – but not for all materials. Ultrasonic cleaners are very effective for gold jewelry without sensitive stones. For jewelry with pearls, opals, emeralds, turquoise, or glued-in stones, ultrasonic cleaning is forbidden.

Suitable for Ultrasonic Cleaning

  • Gold necklaces and gold bracelets without stones
  • Gold rings without stones or with diamonds in prong settings
  • Platinum jewelry without sensitive stones

Never in the Ultrasonic Cleaner

  • Pearls: Vibrations destroy the nacre layers
  • Opals: Can crack due to water ingress
  • Emeralds: Oiled stone loses its impregnation oil
  • Glued-in stones: Adhesive dissolves
  • Turquoise, moonstone, labradorite: Sensitive surfaces
