Is it OK for your ultrasonic cleaner?

Gold-plated / gilded

Yes
Check first
No

Avoid – the thin gold layer can come off.

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

Plated jewelry has a very thin surface layer on another metal. Pandora excludes plated jewelry, and manuals warn that ultrasound can open up gaps in the plating.

Do this instead

  • Wipe with a damp, soft cloth
  • The layer wears with time anyway – that is normal
