Must you always "Pre-Polish" your jewellery & WHY? 14 photos

 This little machine has given me much enjoyment during the past 5 years. It has cleaned many large and delicate jewellery items.
 These little steel pins are what this machine uses in cleaning the jewellery.

 From an extremely large, non-gold item as this tiger's face, anything will get cleaned by these 'tumbling pins'.
 Inside the black coloured plate, a revolving series of magnets rotates the pins at a high speed. This tumbling action keeps the little pins tumbling against each other.
 
  I have just one question: What kinds of jewellery can be cleaned in this machine? Here are just some of them:
 There is no way that a 'cloth, polishing wheel' can polish the intricate areas of these delicate bracelet links.


 Be forewarned that all of these sections of this bracelet should be tumbled before any total assembly.

 This top section of the clasp for this bracelet MUST BE CLEANED & PRE-POLISHED before any stone setting. 
 This way, all of the holes will be cleaned and be ready for setting.

  This large 14 karat gold ring MUST BE TUMBLED before any diamond setting is to start.



  This photo displays the 'before & after' pre-polishing techniques.

 Even before any of the square stones are set, the Magnetic Tumbler must do what is necessary.

 It is best to pre-polish the complete plate 'front and back' before engraving.
There is no possible method for cleaning this wedding band if not by Magnetic Tumbling. The cloth wheel cleaning process WILL DESTROY THE CLAWS IN MOMENTS.
  

 Even on this intricate engagement ring, 'Pre-Polishing' is essential and 100% required.
