on 6/21/2008 Cleaned my rings last night using this method. They are so sparkly and new looking! I did take JasneJ's advice and rinsed them in the bowl and then put them in a plastic strainer [tiny holes] before drying. Worked great!!

on 3/26/2008 I would never clean jewelry over a sink with running water. If the stone was loose, it would wash down the drain!
