Could someone please explain what Ionic Diamond Cleaning is, and how does it work?

I own an ionic cleaning device at home, and I'll be happy to share some information with you! I bought it about a year ago because I wanted an easy and mainly quick way to clean all my jewelry without the normal hassle. I think that nowadays you could get a small unit for around $50 USD, but I bought the normal sized one back then and it wasn't a cheap purchase - just under $90 USD, but it most certainly does the trick! Every morning before I go to work I place my jewelry in for a quick glitz treatment and they comes out just wonderful! I tried it on almost all my jewelry by now, including diamond rings and diamond earrings, gold bracelets, silver necklaces – just virtually any jewelry I own. I have to admit that I noticed that it works best if I put one piece of jewelry at a time, other than all at once, so keep that in mind. It takes the ionic cleaner about 10 to 30 seconds to clean (talk about fast, huh?) and then I just thoroughly rinse the jewelry with tap water and give it a good dry. I can't describe how amazing the difference is – it gets rid of all the dirt and scum that accumulated over the week… my jewelry looks practically brand new, so sparkly and shiny! So as you can see, I'm a very happy customer and I use this device EVERY day so I highly recommend it!

You should be aware of the fact that ionic cleaning also has some limitations. For example, you can't use it just on ANY piece of jewelry, specifically not on notoriously delicate gemstones such as amber, pearls, coral, emerald, and so on... This is important to know because it could really damage delicate jewelry such as pearls, so bear that in mind. Also, the fact that you need to repeat the cleaning process for every piece of jewelry separately could also be somewhat annoying, especially when I want to wear a combination of jewelry on a specific day, I find it very frustrating sitting there and replacing each piece every 30 seconds! But maybe that's just me… Other than that, ultrasonic cleaners do what they're supposed to – they really get rid of skin oils, dust and fingerprints that keep taking away from the sparkle of my jewelry.

Ionic cleaning devices rely on a process called electrolysis that removes oxidation particles and thus is able to clean several different types of jewelry. Like ultrasonic cleaning devices [ADD_LINK], this is pretty easy to operate. The unit comes with a special ionic solution that needs to be diluted with water, and after you place the jewelry inside and push the start button, the ionic cleaner will begin its standard cleaning cycle and will turn itself off automatically, usually after less than a minute. This means that it's faster than any other similar cleaning device out there (as usually their cleaning cycle will take around 5 minutes).
