Like the Connoisseur jewelry cleaner in a jar, this gel worked just as well. I wanted something in a more compact package so I could take it with me when I travel. While the product and brush clean very well making my wedding rings sparkle, the packaging wastes a LOT of product. Each time I pull the brush out a ton of gel comes out with it (way more than necessary) and it's difficult to wipe the brush in attempts to put some of the gel back in the tube. So I end up with gobs of the gel dripping off the brush and falling into the sink. I've tried so many times to try and wipe the gel back into the tube, but to no avail. Because so much product is wasted, I don't get that many uses out of a full tube, making it pretty expensive. I wish the packaging could be improved, or else the product in the jar was smaller so it would be more convenient to bring when I travel!
