would this work on stones like sea glass and amethyst for jewlery?

Yes, the gold leaf kit will work on stones. Make sure the stones are very clean prior to applying the adhesive size and make sure to apply the sealer to avoid the leaf from oxidizing.

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.

Lauren. It would work well on silver and gold. I am not sure on the other three metals but people polish rocks with them so I don't see why not.

Sapphires are hard stone gems (almost as hard as diamonds). I don't think the solution will harm the stone. If any glue was used to hold the stone(s) in place, rather than a metal prong setting, the result might be different. Haggerty does have a solution for jewelry, and you can contact them with questions about both products.

My parents owned a diamond and gold exchange jewelry business...it was very elite where you had to have an appointment to see their inventory...they actually had a professional steam machine that they used to clean most of their jewelry...so it's safe for metals, (better than chemicals) and most stones, I'm guessing, depending upon their hardness...wouldn't steam pearls or opals.

Sure, I can't see a reason why it wouldn't work for stones. You just have to use the correct medium for rocks.

I used this on my engagement ring, which is on stainless steel. It worked great, I do not know about the glass part of watches.

Amanda ~ I haven't used it with any jewelry that has glued on stones so can't answer your question. I have a feeling that they would be okay though.

Not sure. It is a very gentle abrasive paste. It works with a lot of polishing and rubbing on high shine marble so it would probably work on Quartz.

Yes it will. I have done some steampunk jewelry doing just that and it worked out well. Be sure there is no oil on the bowl of the spoon. wipe it down with acetate. KEN...

I have been using it for many years; but only on silver-sterling or silverplate with a sponge (one usually comes with). On stones use a good liquid that comes in a bottle-use the brush that comes with it to brush gently on the stones so as not to damage them. Rinse both jewelry and silver with warm water no soap so as not to rub off the polish. I love the results!I forgot to add---no polish on pearls!!!!! And try and use the silver polish with tarnish preventative--it lasts much longer.

Hubby says that all the diamond tipped ones can be used on stone or glass. ( the granular embedded ones). Hope that can help you!! :.))

It says not to use on other metals, pearls or porous stones. I am not sure about sapphires.

I am not sure, I am a jeweler and used thid for polishing wampum (quahog shells / hard clam shells) and it worked wonderfully for that purpose. Sorry, I am probably not much help.

I would check with a jeweler on how to clean pearls. They are very, very delicate and can be damaged easily. I would also not use this to clean opals. Maybe there is a cleaning detergent safe to use for pearls, but I would never take a chance until I knew for sure from an expert.

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.

No!!! I used it on my other jewelry after learning it doesn't work for sterling jewelry it leaves this very dull finish on it. Looks bad. :-(
