ULTRASONIC CLEANER:
A machine that cleans jewelry by vibrating a solution at an ultra-high frequency. Capable of cleaning tiny cavities on or inside fine jewelry without scratching the surface, but can damage soft or brittle gemstones. Ultrasonic cleaners should never be used to clean pearls, coral, or turquoise jewelry.
