But still it is recommended to ask advice from your jeweler if it is okay to use it in cleaning your jewelries. Professional jewelers know what is best for your jewelries.

Use of Ultra Sonic Cleaning

This equipment needs an expert. It is much stronger than the sonic cleaner thus it needs professional expertise to use it. It is not recommended for people to use this at home. Thus if you think your jewelries need a thorough cleaning, then take it to your professional jeweler and let him do the job for you.
