"Waterpik" for cleaning jewelery

Reading some of the old posts about cleaning bracelets with ultrasonics. I do use one now, but back in the day, when all the kids wore braces, they used a "waterpik" instead of tooth brushes. One time I decided to clean some rings & watchbands with it and it did quite well. I did get a lot of spray and splatter, so I decided to run a couple of inches of water in the sink, and do the cleaning just under the surface, and that eliminated the spray. I would fill the reservior with warm soapy water, and rinse it out when I got done. They have a tremendous amount of pressure up close, and can cut your gums.

I was thinking about doing this as well, since I have an old waterpik lying around. Do you feel the ultrasonic does just as good of a job as the waterpik? I would imagine the waterpik can do a great job cleaning in between the links of an oyster bracelet.
