Has anyone use this to clean vintage costume jewelry, i.e. rhinestones, etc. that are glued?

No, but with vintage glue you have to ask yourself the following questions:1- Will the detergent soften the glue ? 2- Will the ultrasonic vibrations crystallize the glue and then cause it to shatter ? Glued jewelry is pretty fragile. You may be best served with a bucket of soapy water and a soft scrub brush like an old toothbrush. Good luck !

I'm not a jeweler but I wouldn't recommend it. I use extreme caution when using metal polishing cloths on stones. depending on how porous the stone is, the chemicals from the cloth could make the stone brittle or discolored.

This glue is an excellent bonding agent, and it will bond cotton cord to metal, leather, and plastic. I have used it for about a year now in making kumihimo items and leather items with metal endcaps and it has held up very well. It dries extremely quickly and has no odor when dry ( usually about a minute), which is a plus. I have not washed anything glued with it, but I think if it just gets wet and is not soaked or washed, it will be fine. Also, a little bit goes a long way. I have used it to glue stones to a cabochon setting and that was also successful. This is my favorite go-to glue for jewelry-making. Hope this helps!

It will clean jewelry. I cleaned my wife's wedding ring using soap and water in the ultrasonic cleaner.

You might ask your local jeweler if they clean pearls in an ultrasonic cleaner or if it will damage the pearl. I imagine you can but am unsure of any damage since pearls are not metal or stone/crystal like most jewelery.

I don't see why not, I use it on all of my jewelry, though I don't own anything with pearls. You don't have to put any cleaner in it, you can use just water. I only ever use a few drops of soap which wouldn't affect anything.

I believe it does loosen stones and jewels that are glued on. I had a pearl fall off one of my rings that I dipped and cleaned. I do not leave anything in the cleaner for more than 5 seconds either because I'm afraid. Wear gloves and rinse well!

I truly don't know but my wife used it on her diamond as well as a fake emarald. Neither was noticably cleaner after using it though.

hi, my first thought was ,just like woolite,joy dish deterjent. but it does clean without building bubbles,and unlike other jewelry cleaners,you can use this with fine,gemstones or costume jewelry.although it does warn against cleaning porous or 'delecate' jewelry. this i believe ,is because it can also remove some of the 'glue' and therefore cause an item to 'brek' or come apart,i did this to a brooch(i cleaned 3 x in a row-super concentrated-i learned my lesson). however no ingredients are listed,quite likely it is a baking soda and borax,but possibly you can find out from manufacturer which is "blitz manufacturing company,inc. jeffersonville,in 47130. i hope this helps.

Yes, I have used it on all my jewelry. It actually does a good job because the foam gets into the crevices that I wouldn't be able to reach otherwise. And, of course, it rinses off easily, so the jewelry is clean of any polish residue.

Hi There, You can use this over & over. I've cleaned about 20+ items so far - earrings, chains, rings and it's still working great.

I bought this to clean eyeglasses, but I have used it to clean jewelry including diamond rings and wristwatches with no problems.

Yes! I used to polish my real Japanese silver vase decorated with all kind of stones and shells! I also use to polish my silver ring with jade! Hope my information help :))

Kristin, I don't believe these cloths can be cleaned. The oxidation that is left on the cloth is permanent. My jeweler advised me to use one jewelry cleaner for gold and one for silver. It would be better to if you kept the cloths separately too.

I used it to repair a broken small wooden sculpture and it worked perfect for that. I haven't tried it for jewelry making, but imagine it should work.

I use my sonic jewelry cleaner. But each time I use the brush, I make sure it is rinsed thoroughly and spin it dry.

I have been using mine to attach bling and feathers ect. Occasionally I get ahead of the glue but its works 100 times better then the last one I had.
