Sunshine Polishing Cloths Safe for Gemstones?

by Jackie Davidson.
(New Jersey, USA)

I use gemstones, sterling silver and crystal/glass in my pieces. If I use a Sunshine Cloth to polish the sterling silver, it will also rub against the gemstones, even if I try to avoid them — is that OK?

I read somewhere that you should avoid that, but it seems nearly impossible.

    Hi Jackie,
    The Sunshine Polishing Cloth is my favourite. I do wire-wrap jewelry and so far I never had any problems.

    Ditto, Been using Sunshine cloths for 2 years with no adverse effects on any of my wire wrapped stones.

    Same here. I try to avoid the stones, but I haven’t had a problem. Don’t use the little white square polishing pads on stones though, that will abrade soft stones.

    I use alot of gemstones, marble, etc but my stones look so dull, even I can’t get inspired to make anything with them.

    Does anyone have a suggestion on how to clean them or add some luster to them?
