Is it OK for your ultrasonic cleaner?

Diamond ring

Yes
Check first
No

The diamond handles ultrasonic cleaning – the setting decides whether it is safe.

Updated from your answers.

A few questions to be sure

Does any stone move or rattle when you tap the piece lightly?
Are many small stones set close together (pavé, eternity)?
Is the stone fracture-filled, oiled or treated with resin/glass?

How to do it

Time
3 min
Water
Lukewarm, 30–40 °C

One drop of mild dish soap. Run the ring on its own and check the stones afterwards.

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

GIA writes that diamonds in a secure setting can be cleaned but that ultrasound can shake stones loose and wear the edges of stones set close together. Fracture-filled diamonds should not be run at all.

Watch out for

  • Loose stone or worn prong: take it to a jeweler
  • Pavé: check first
  • Fracture-filled diamond: avoid
