Is there a low setting that is safe for Opals or is it not recomended for them?

there is only one setting that i know of. i've put a bunch of stuff in there, and i think it won't damage an opal. everything goes in a plastic basket inside the machine, so your jewelry doesn't come in direct contact with the metal that lines the basin. i like this machine a lot and would recommend it for cleaning all types of jewelry!

I use it to polish sapphire's and ruby's for me at takes a while as I start it with the stones very rough and have to change the sand several times to get them to the stage of polishing them. electricity is not much but it is noisy so you may want to put it in a room by it self. try it for about an hour than check them as make sure you get the right sand polish for them too coarse can scratch them. I bought mine about 6 months ago and it is still working fine today.

Possibly with a very steady hand or if the gem is on a flat surface. I discarded the one I bought and bought a very high powered Jeweler's loupe. Good luck.

There is a high & low setting. Was just enough for my son....not terribly strong though.

Have you tried calibrating? I bought two and they were just a smidge off, so calibrated and they are perfect. You might try changing surfaces it sits on. I was at a gem show last week and many vendors used this specific scale.

Not that I know of. It's very low in my kitchen and my husband was going to try,but as an end result don't think its worth it. The like is very dim ! Over all a bad buy ! My mistake !

Low settings will work for you. This product is of consequence as it relates to indoor air quality. I have 8 units and love the performance.

I have a cheap/non-pro SensatioNail LED lamp and it works just fine with all brands of gelcolor polishes (orly, sensationail, etc.) - no need to adjust the curing time either (at least from my experience).

I'm not sure. If it's nice/Waterford crystal I would try vinegar and baking soda first. You can always read the warnings on the back

Not that I know of. I wipe it down after each use...especially to make sure I don't have any stones that came loose. That happened once. Fault of the setting not the machine!

I never tried that. However I don't think it would work very well as the crystal is not porous. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Hi, how are you? I actually put a piece of jewelry in the cup, put the lid back on, wait 5 seconds, then gently shake it 5 times. The five time shake also takes five seconds. I then lift my jewelry out, and give it a rinse and pat dry. This 10 second rest and shake rule works faster than just sitting the jewelry in the container and waiting. It has never failed me, and my jewelry comes out sparkly each and every time No matter how tarnished a piece is, I have never needed more than 20 seconds. Going past one minute will start to take the sheen off your jewelry, and you don't want to do that to your sterling. Hope this helps Laura. :-)

I don't know what the recommended setting is, but I use it on close to high and have actually noticed hair growth where my hair is thinning. Hopes this helps

I have one in a 29 Biocube and it borders on too much. I have it on the lowest setting and I think it is perfect.
