When investing your money on an expensive jewel, it is necessary to understand how the jewel needs to be looked after. So how should you clean an emerald claddagh ring, you surely do not want to ruin the gem stone in the cleaning process. And emerald despite it's expensive price tag, is not one of the most durable gems. It is very common for jewelers to clean jewelry using ultrasonic cleaners, infact some jewelry lovers have their own ultrasonic jewelry cleaners at home. But the important thing is that, an emerald gem stone claddagh ring should not be cleaned in an ultasonic cleaner. We will discuss why this is so, in this report.

Most jewelers do not provide clear explanations about this gem stone, they fear that the buyer would be put off and not make a purchase. The fact however is that, a claddagh emerald ring would be one of your prized posessions. The gem stone has a history that dates back to thousands of years. It was the gem stone of the kings and queens, the beautiful and powerful Cleopatra loved this gemstone.

At Kaisilver have a different perception of gemstone properties. We believe that explaining the facts the buyer, would allow the buyer to take better care of the gemstone. This would provide better and longer satisfaction, something that we seriously care about. There are some factors related to an emerald that, make it necessary for you to provide some attention and care to the gem. Once you have understood these features, it is really not all that tough to look after this gorgeous gemstone.

It is not advisable to use, an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner to clean your emerald gem stone claddagh ring, or any other emerald gem stone jewel. Read this full report to understand why.

Our main topic for this report is to discuss the suitability of using an ultrasonic cleaner to clean your emerald claddagh ring. It is interesting to know how an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner works. When you fill water in the ultrasonic cleaner and turn the device on, it generats ultrasonic waves. Jewelry after it has been worn for a while, collects dust and sometimes even gets a bit greasy. When you put the jewel in an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner, the ulrasonic waves run through the water and attack the dust that could be stuck on the metal or the gemstone, this loosens the dust. In a few seconds the dust gets released from the jewel. It is this very process that could ruin the gemstone in your claddagh emerald ring, let us look at this issue more closely.

A brief description of the characteristic features of an emerald, will reveal why a gold or 925 silver emerald claddagh ring should not be cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner. Emeralds come from the beryl mineral family, some other gems from this elite mineral family are - morganite, aquamarine and bixbite. If you look at the hardness rating of an emerald, it is an impressive 7.5 to 8. But unfortunately, this handsome hardness rating does not translate to durability. All emeralds have natural cracks or fissures in them, these make the gemstone prone to cracking even with a moderate strike from a hard object. This fact will be true of your emerald claddagh ring too, it is a natural phenomenon and cannot be avoided. Interestingly, it is these fissures and inclusions that makes this gem desirable to emerald lovers. They refer to these as 'birthmarks' of the gemstone and realize that, this ensures that no 2 emeralds on our planet would be identical. Besides bringing down the durability of an emerald, the fissures also reduce the lusture of the gem.

Man has for many centuries known and followed, a simple process to increase the lustre of emeralds. The gem stone is soaked in natural oils, the oils seep through the fissures and fill them. This reduces their visibility thereby increasing the lustre of the emerald. You can safely presume that, the gem stone in your gold or 925 silver claddagh ring has also gone through the oil treatment process. Anything that would cause the oils in the emerald to dry up or ooze out of the stone, would reduce the beauty of the gem. The treating of emeralds with natural oils is done even for priceless emerald jewels preserved in museums.

So now let us get back to our discussion on, why cleaning your claddagh emerald ring in an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner is not recommended. Now that we know the interesting facts related to, the presence of fissures in emeralds and the oil treatment process - the explanation would be quite simple. We read above that, an ultrasonic cleaner generates ultrasonic waves that, loosen the grease and dust that could be stuck on the jewel. When you place your claddagh emerald gem stone ring in the ultrasonic cleaner and turn it on, the ultrasonic waves could try to push their way into the fissures in the emerald. This can technically cause the fissures to expand and even, result in the gem stone breaking. Another problem could occur with the natural oils used to treat the emerald, the ultrasonic waves could enter the fissures and force the oils to ooze out. This is the reason why, you should never clean a sterling silver or gold claddagh emerald gem stone ring in an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner.

Now that you know how cleaning your emerald claddagh ring in an ultrasonic cleaner could ruin the gem, let us talk about the right way to clean your emerald ring. Use some clean water at room temperature, it is not advisable to put your emerald claddagh ring in warm or hot water. An emerald ring should not be soaked for more than 10 to 15 seconds. Take the ring out of the water and use a soft clean cloth, to wipe the ring. You can gently dab the gem stone to allow the cloth to absorb any water that might be present on the gem stone. Some jewelry experts recommend using a small amount of gentle soap in the water, if you do this make sure that you wash the claddagh emerald ring in clean running water after the soap water is used. You do not want any residual soap to remain stuck to the gem stone or the metal mounting. We would suggest that you do not use any soap in the water. If your claddagh emerald ring needs a more thorough cleaning, take it to a professional jeweler.

A short note about jewelry cleaning vibrators, freely available devices that clean your jewelry through vibrations. Our support team often receives emails enquiring about the safety of this device. A vibrator cleans through vibrations and no, ultrasonic waves are generated through this device. So would it be safe to put your claddagh emerald ring in such a device, we would say that it is safer NOT to use the device. This is because there is no standardisation for such devices, there are no measurements set for the degree of vibration too. In such circumstances we would suggest that you do not try using the device to clean a gold or 925 silver claddagh ring with emerald gem.
