Thanks for visiting my Test It Tuesday blog for the inside story behind the Jewel Jet.



We had Kathy Purcell, the new director of the Race for the Cure, be our official tester. She has very little time these days with the Race less than three months away. She is also a woman with a whole lot of jewelry at home that could certainly use cleaning.



We stopped by her office and had Kathy bring in some old rings - including one belonging to her month with the birthstones of all of the children. The rest of the office decided to bring in their jewels as well to be cleaned.



Now for the Jewel Jet. Folks, it looks more like a coffee maker than a jewelry cleanser. It's supposed to steam away the grit and grime from years of neglect on your most precious jewels. The truth is that it creates a temporary shine, but as Kathy noticed it does not rid you of the gunk and grime. In essence, it does not truly clean the ring. Even the manufacturer subconsciously admits to this by providing a cup inside the box where they "suggest" you can soak your ring in a chemical solution of your choice to loosen up the dirt.



This product wouldn't steam clean your ring anymore than it would steam clean your clothing. While Kathy gave it a two, I thought she was being generous. I'm going to give it a one ... unless there a way for the Jewel Jet to somehow make a good cup of coffee.
