Found an awesome diamond cleaner--cheap! (great for pave too!)

divergrrl Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,141 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 12/9/2002	Ok, that Jewelery Connoseiur (sp?) stuff in the red jar? Well we were at Rite Aid at the beach getting a toothbrush for my son & mascara for me (forgot to pack both) and I spied a small portable tube of that cleaner. Well heck I thought, I can clean my diamond on the road. Well, little did I know, it wasn't the liquid cleanser, it was a gel with a brush. Just brush on the gel, let it sit for a second or two, scrub-a-dub, and rinse! The sparkle is FLAT OUT AMAZING and lasts for days & days! (I'm almost at a week with constant handwashing) I'm hooked, and seeing that I've lost 5 stones out of my pave in the past, I think this will replace my u/s cleaner for the most part, maybe use that for a monthly bath instead of a 2 to 3 times a week bath. (I also have a tendency to "forget" my ring is in the u/s bath and will go for days of not wearing my ring---I know, unthinkable to some, but with a toddler in tow and a bun in the oven, the brain tends to misfire on a regular basis). Just had to share my stay-sparkly find with my Pricescope friends! Jeannine Divergrrl *************************** Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got.... :-P

I will have to check if Target or Walgreens has it.

divergrrl Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,141 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 12/9/2002	FYI, Its in a narrow jar, about as wide as a quarter. Also, I bought the CoverGirl Lash Exact Mascara in Black (the stuff in the purple tube--with the new plastic brush--Queen Latifah is in the ads for it now) and its ROCKS too. No clumpies, really long lashes, very purty. Washes off nice too. Jeannine Divergrrl *************************** Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got.... :-P

Ellen Ideal Rock Total Posts: 22,894 Last Post: 11/6/2009 Member Since: 1/13/2006	divergrrl, have you used the stuff in the jar, and if so, do you think this works better? I've heard of this before on here, but have not seen it in my area. So I just did a search, and found a place with free shipping Skippy. http://www.cheapgiftsstore.com/site/1604318/page/831541 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds." -Murray N.

divergrrl Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,141 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 12/9/2002	Yep, Skippy got the right link for it! The GEL is beyond comparision to the liquid. I've used the liquid before I bought my u/s and quite frankly, it sucked. This gell works BETTER than my ultrasonic cleaner (and I use sudsy ammonia & hot water in mine) by a long shot. (Of course I will do an occassional u/s to work out the tiny grime that gets stuck). And no, that pic is from a few months ago....just a regular u/s bath. Thanks for noticing I changed my avatar. My old one only showed off my ugly knuckles and you couldn't really see my ring. Its a little distorted though, and I tried to fix it...oh well, good enough.

I think it is the same thing, actually. I totally use it in between US cleanings and it makes a real difference!

Thanks to her, I bought like 8 tubes and handed them out to friends/family. It gets my jewelry cleaner than even the ultrasonic! Too bad the travel tube leaks though....I always have to keep it in a plastic baggie.
