    We have a retail store, we sell every gem material you can imagine
    set in sterling silver and have used Calgon water softener, not bath
    oil, and have never had one problem with any material that can be put
    in water without damage. We have only tried this on about 250,000
    pieces of sterling over 12 years. Calgon is very easy to find at the
    grocery store. Calgon, water, salt, tin foil works instantly which I
    consider fast enough.
