Denture tablets work wonders for cleaning glassware, ceramic type ware, and tile. Dissolve a couple of tablets into a sink of hot water and wash glasses sparkling clean. I drop one into the toilet bowl. It also works on the bathroom sink, bathtub, and tile.
Drop one into a vase after the flowers have completed their cycle and the tablets clean up the vase. Ceramic type baking dishes such as Corningware are easily cleaned with one tablet and hot water. Do not use for stainless steel. I purchase a large bulk box of a store or generic brand, cheapest!

Could denture cleaning tablets be used to clean gold and diamond jewelry? Would it harm the jewelry?

I googled jewelry denture cleaner. It sounds like it may not be a good idea. Go to this link, en.allexperts.com/
This guy sounds like he did his research. He says the chemicals found in denture cleaner may weaken the jewelry.
I've always used rubbing alcohol and a toothbrush. Brush always up from the base of any of the little wires that hold the stones in.
A jeweler once years ago told me about using denture tablets to clean my jewelry. I have been using them for 40 years now and my jewelry is still beautiful.
I place one denture tab in a vibrating cup, put in enough water to cover my jewelry, add the jewelry and turn it on. I let it run for 30 minutes, then rinse everythng really good and let it dry. I do this about once every 1-2 months depending on how dirty my jewelry has gotten.
