<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ce BCA, post: 3697721, member: 18716&quot;]Ok, so after polishing jewellery and small silver I&#039;m still cleaning all the residue and polishing compound off by hand.&nbsp; I keep thinking about an ultrasonic cleaner, but each time I get going with google I get hit with all the horror stories of items falling apart, stones coming out of the settings, and worse still, a valuable gem fracturing due to an unseen flaw.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most of the pieces I&#039;m cleaning are vintage or antique, so perhaps more fragile than very recent jewellery.&nbsp; It also means quite a few items will have garnets, paste stones, pearls, marcasites and the range of quartz based stones, so not just diamonds, rubies etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Are the horror stories just a myth and it&#039;s the equivalent of a hypochondriac googling their symptoms, or are they really not ideal for vintage and antique jewellery?</p><p><br /></p><p>Many thanks for any thoughts and bonus point if you got the bad pun in the title....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
