Connoisseurs Introduces 4 New Cleaners
From brushes to cleaning pens, here are the company’s new products that retailers can stock to keep customers’ jewels shining.
Woburn, Mass.--Connoisseurs Products Corp. is bringing four new jewelry cleaning products to the market.
All part of the “Dazzle” collection, each product has a slightly different function.
The Sonic Dazzle Stik is a motorized cleaning brush. It revolves at 5,000 oscillations per minute and comes with a cleaning gel for gold, platinum, precious and semi-precious stones and a cleaner for silver. It also comes with two AAA batteries and instructions for operation.
The Diamond Dazzle Stik was originally designed in 2010 and functions like a cleaning “pen” for jewelry, making it easily portable. The product now offers more cleanings per product than in the original version.
Connoisseurs is also offering its Dazzle Drops Advanced Jewelry Cleaner, good for 80 uses, and the Dazzle Drops Silver Jewelry Cleaner.
