Is this safe suitable for antique jewelry - gold, silver, platinum, precious stones?

It is large, solid, well made and can be bolted to the floor if i recall correctly. There is plenty of space for multiple items has a key and code setup. Bought it for my parents and they are pleased with it.

I would not use this on all gems. The cleaner is designed for silver flatware and housewares, not jewelry. It could severely damage opals, turquoise and similar soft stones, coated crystals, and pearls. If you need to clean silver with gemstones, use a cleaner designed for jewelry.

Don't know, I am just starting to use this since I was 12, back in the '60s :-/ That would be a question for the jewelers. Apologies .

Yes I have 2 platinum rings and have had no problem..and they are expensive rings so if I use this it is safe.

I've not tried to use it to clean silver, as I purchased Brilliant's Silver Cleaner to do mine. It worked really well for silver. This product does just as well for gemstones and gold jewelry.

Absolutely not! This is strictly meant for small jewelry projects! I'd check your local hardware store!

This is a sanding set which will polish metal. I have used these pads on both wood and steel to prep them for finishing. It will bring a hard surface up to a mirror finish if used as directed and with patience. I can't see any reason that sterling silver would be any different from polishing the steel. I would advise caution using on any thinly plated materials (as you might risk running through a plate coating. Also with antiques sometimes resale values can be harmed by altering the original finishes. But will it polish it? I'd wager it would quite nicely, though if you wish to use a less abrasive method I would suggest a metal polish or paste buffing compound for polishing metals, like Flitz.

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 think most of the ones produced these days are lead free. I think you need to worry more about antique pieces. For the money, this looks and feels amazing. You will def be happy!

i do not know about jewelry but doubt it would do any good. i applied coat after coat, according to instructions, to antique silver plated flatware and could see no improvement whatsoever. in my humble opinion a total waste of a few dollars.

I had no problem with my silverware. I have large and somewhat smaller knives in my antique silverware. I don't know what to suggest.

I would think so, maybe using a cotton ball. I have only used it on jewelry though.

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.

Yes. I use it on sterling, white gold and platinum. I mostly use it on a watch that is silver with inlaid opal, since you cannot use most liquid or paste jewelry cleaner on opal or pearls.

I have used for both gold and silver and all my jewelry is tarnish free. I feel they work well for both.

I think so. It says it is for semi precious stones. Not for coral, ivory,, amber, malachite, pearls, opals, jade or turquoise Those are all softer stones. I think aquamarine is a semi precious stone. Good luck.

I believe you can. I am a dog stylist and I clean my stainless steel blades in it. I haven't tried anything silver. It works great! I can't imagine that it would be limited to just gold jewelry etc. It comes with a solution, but you can use any jewelry cleaning solution, Dawn dish soap etc. You fill it to the fill line with water then add whatever solution you want to use.
