ABSTRACT:
An improved tool for cleaning a jewelry article (e.g., ring) accurately grips and positions the article yet captures any device affixed thereto (e.g., gemstone, jewel) while exposing the tool to a jewelry cleaning liquid (e.g., pressurized steam, ultrasonic liquid, ammonia solution, etc.). For instance, a spring-handled basket tool generally used for jewelry cleaning is improved by introducing a grasping member, such as an alligator clip with resiliency treated contact edges. The clip is affixed, such as by riveting, to one of two interior rings that define the opening between the two hemispheric baskets. A jewelry article that is thus clipped may be positioned to a desired angle for inspection and cleaning without fear of an expensive gem being lost due to the cleaning process.
