Can you use this brand on glued (not set) diamonds? I used another brand and lost 4 diamonds out of my ring! :(

You don't have to put the diamonds in the holder to test them. Just hold them and test them. It's actually a really good tester for the price! I've ordered another since then so I would have a spare.

I've heard that there are some polishes other than the specific stamping polishes that work but they need to be thicker and it's pretty much trial and error. I recommend the ones designed for this though.

I'm pretty sure you can. I have a diamond sharpener from Smith's and it advises to use honing oil. So I doubt it'll cause anything bad. I use this oil on all my stones.

I didn't tried yet - the ones I've cleaned so far have other gems - amber, amethyst, rubies, peridot...no problem with these. works excellent

I had no problems. Just be careful if they are peel and stick. It might melt the glue.

Yes. The gems will stick very well with this glue. But when you decide to remove the gems, I suggest using an acetone remover so that the gems along with all glue residue is fully removed.

If it's a real pearl, it shouldn't be a problem. I've used it on pretty much all my jewelry as well as on my glasses and have been very happy. Try it for one minute first and if there are no problems, increase the time. I add one capfull of cleaning solution when I use the machine and then often let it sit for days, full of solution, before I use it again. That works just fine. I just got too lazy to empty and refill each use.

Diane I have not tried this yet with my foils. I just purchased some foil glue and I will be trying it tomorrow.

Yes, I have used several jewelry cleaners & Blitz Gem is definitely one of the better cleaners & very gentile for delicate chains, as well as pearls, etc. I was referred by someone about this product, and would recommend purchasing it. My jewelry definitely sparkles. I hope I answered your question.

In my experience, yes. You may want to apply it to the uneven surface first, allow it a minute or three to get tacky then adhere the other piece/item. Just be aware, if you get overflow around the edges, clean it off before it fully dries. Once dried, it's a real beast to remove. I like to go back after about 30 minutes and take a toothpick, XActo, or other pointy object to clean up any excess that seeped over the edges of the item you are gluing. I am working with jewelery so any goobers that seep out are pretty glaring. Hope this helps. Any other questions, just yell. I use this stuff every darn day and have learned a lot through trial and error. In my experience, yes.

I have 3 of these tools and use them rather frequently to set rhinestones on very delicate tulle and illusion. I've had no problems so far, so here are some things to check: 1. Are you sure you checked the on/ off toggle on the end near the cord? The tip is extremely HOT when its on. 2. When you pick up the rhinestones with the setting tip you must wait about 30-40 seconds for the glue to melt. The melted glue will look shiny. I often use a long dressmaker pin (with the ball top) to slide thru the slit and ease the rhinestone into its proper spot on my fabric. 3. Is it possible that there is something wrong w/ the glue on your hot-fix rhinestones? 4. Have you tried plugging the tool into a different outlet? 5. If nothing works I guess you'll have to admit that the item is defective and you should get an exchange. It really is a great tool when it works. GOOD LUCK!

Hello Deanna, I was also wondering the same question. The applicator wand only works with pre glued rhinestones. Its a Hot Fix Applicator and Hot Fix brand pre glued rhinestones may be bought and used for this applicator. Less mess and kinda cool idea for a hot wand ! ! !

I truly don't know but my wife used it on her diamond as well as a fake emarald. Neither was noticably cleaner after using it though.

I had to dig it out of my preparedness things, so sorry for the delay! The rings do not appeared glued on! They are on there very tightly! Hope that helps!

I use Sally Hansen Superhold nail glue and it works really well with these smaller rhinestones to make great detailed nail art or nail designs like in a normal nail salon. I also use nail tweezers to grip each rhinestone to apply in onto my nails because they're small. I've used topcoat with sticking the rhinestones on my nails but the little stones would sometimes pop off or chip off because the clear too coat nail polish isn't as long lasting or durable as nail glue, so I just personally like using the nail glue, but it's everyone's prerogative what they like best and what works for them.
