Calling Honey22!

Hey Honey,
sorry - this is another ultrasonic question, as you seem to be the authority on the topic for our neck o the woods, lol.
I read the other thread, but I wanted to be clear - is this the same model that you bought and the same seller?

The "Cody" brand?
And if so, are you still happy with it/had any issues etc?

TIA sweetheart!

Hey there sweetie! I have yet to tell you how gorgeously stunning your pics are in your thread, but I havn''t had the time I need to properly express my feelings

, will get to that later.

I am flattered by your compliments!! I have that exactly the same us, from the same seller! I think it''s totally fabulous, and I havn''t had a problem with it at all - oh, except for the fact that when I was rinsing my studs the other day, one slipped through the basket, but ''you know you''re a PSer when..... you put the plug in the sink when cleaning jewellery'', phewww!! But after that I did realise that there are different ''sections'' to the basket, in the centre has smaller whole for little things and towards the edge bigger whole for rings etc.

I will have to check at home the exact price I paid for it, but I believe it was $70 AU including postage, they have at least one auction everyday for that item, and I did notice that the price stays within 10 +/- the amount I paid for it.

Good luck bidding!!!

Thankyou sweet for your reply.
I am finding already how hard it is to keep these suckers clean!
So I think I will probably get one of those ebay ones.
Cheers for all the info, and I''ll put up an smtr thread this w''end when there''s some darn sun (hopefully

)

Got my US today and am keen to use it!
Another question - what do you use in yours? Honey or anyone else..?
Are we supposed to use like a Windex or a dish-soap type cleaner if we don't have US solution?

TIA, look out for "clean diamond piccies" to come!

Hey chicky! Your ears must have been burning cause I was just telling a newbie to check out your dear Perry! The proof is in the pudding that K stones can be stunning!!!

Anyhoo, in the ultra I use Morning Fresh (always been a morning fresh girl, all my life) and a dash of ammonia, in warm water. Then I rinse in warm water and dry with a soft cloth to avoid water marks on the stone etc.

How exciting you got your us! Where did you end up getting it from?

Awww, Perry and I thankyou! She enjoys being an ambassodor for "lower coloured" stones - lol.

I think I ended up getting the US from the same ebay-er that you did. And I have to admit, I was pretty impressed when I got it out of the box.
The quality seems really decent - the thing is quite heavy and well made.For whatever reason (ebay, price) I just wasn't expecting it!

Anybody in Australia looking for a US, the link at the start of this thread is a good one.

TY Honey for the advice - another Morning Fresh gal here, lol. I think I read though that ammonia is no good for yellow/white gold, only for plat? Or am I getting mixed up?

You can safely use ammonia on ygold and plat, but not wgold, it eats away at the rhodium plating apparently.
