sonic cleaner caution

[needmorediamonds]

Old sonic users know this, but - I just got my new ''toy'' and found out the hard way. i have an antique mesh white gold bracelet with spacer bars studded with diamonds. INto the sonic cleaner. Out of the cleaner and onto the towel to dry. Without checking the bracelet first, I -yes, you got it - DUMPED THE WATER down the drain. Then checked the bracelet. And saw a missing diamond! Ok, it''s only a 2mm, but what a glaring dark space it left....So, out with the flashlight and into the drain - complete with garbage disposal! - and by Gd - I found it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yikes.
Off to the repair shop to reset it, and get the others checked before I wear that thing anywhere else.
So, a cautionary tale that came out well

Glad you found the missing stone! Generally, most people do not put pieces that are pave or very small stones in the US.
