Hello All,
It is ages since I have been on here and hope you are all exceedingly well.
I would appreciate your assistance please on tumbling silver jewellery with gemstones in the jewellery.
If I use the tumbler with stainless steel mixed shot, etc and put my finished silver jewellery in which I have fixed gemstones, will the tumbling damage the facetting of the gemstones or will the gemstones remain untouched yet still clean the silver? I dare not put anything in the tumbler other than just silver in case I kill the gemstones.
The gemstones are generally amethyst, citrine, ruby, sapphire, but also can be agate, onyx, turquoise, pearls, etc.
Your help would be gratefully received.
Thank you.
