Devices utilizing heated water vapor offer a method for sanitizing and restoring brilliance to precious metals and gemstones. This process involves a compact unit generating pressurized steam directed onto jewelry through a nozzle. A typical example involves placing an item within a designated chamber where it is subjected to a controlled burst of steam.
This approach offers several advantages. High-temperature steam can effectively loosen and remove dirt, oils, and other contaminants without the need for harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing, which can damage delicate settings or softer stones. Additionally, the process is generally quicker than traditional soaking methods. While not a recent invention, the technology continues to evolve with improved features for efficiency and ease of use, making it increasingly popular among both professionals and consumers.
