Is it OK for your ultrasonic cleaner?

Engagement ring

Yes
Check first
No

Usually OK with a diamond in prongs – check the prongs and the type of stone.

Updated from your answers.

A few questions to be sure

Are there stones in the piece?
Does any stone move or rattle when you tap the piece lightly?
Are many small stones set close together (pavé, eternity)?

How to do it

Time
3 min
Water
Lukewarm, 30–40 °C

Run the ring on its own. Look at the prongs under magnification 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

A diamond in a prong setting handles ultrasonic cleaning, but GIA warns that the vibrations can loosen stones and recommends having the setting checked. Coloured stones and pavé around the stone change the answer.

Watch out for

  • Loose stone: take it to a jeweler
  • Pavé or halo: be careful
