Is it OK for your ultrasonic cleaner?

Cultured pearls

Yes
Check first
No

Cultured pearls are as delicate as natural pearls – avoid ultrasonic cleaning.

Updated from your answers.

With these answers we do not recommend the ultrasonic cleaner, so there is no how-to.

Pick your cleaner to see if it fits, which setting to use and what its manual says.

Why

A cultured pearl has a core covered with nacre, the same organic material as natural pearls. GIA makes no distinction: ultrasound and steam should never be used.

Do this instead

  • Wipe with a damp cloth
  • Perfume and hairspray after, not before
