The Best Gift for a Girl Who Loves Gems

Filed in archive Jewelry Gifts on February 23, 2010

The greatest gift I ever received wasn't a diamond, it wasn't money, it wasn't a car - it was the plainest gift imaginable: a lowly jewelry cleaner.

The Elma Ultrasonic Cleaner LC20H came to me as an engagement present and I treasure it. It keeps all my gems sparkling clean.

Yes - my husband purchased a lovely diamond for me when we were engaged, but the compliments I get on the stone aren't just because it's stunning, they're because it is never seen dirty.

I'm a Seventh Generation kind of girl - I like a toxin-free house, but for my gems I'll make an exception. The cleaner works with a mixture of Mr. Clean, ammonia and water. It reeks for a full day every time I change the liquid.

Smell or no, it really works. A gentle shake of the ultrasonic and my ring looks as good as new.

Though none of my diamonds are are as gigantic as one pictured above, at least they'll always sparkle just as much!
