The best way to clean them is with steam. other cleansers and polishes can leave a film. There is a way to do it yourself, without the help of a specific jewelry cleaner. Boil some water on the stove and place a veggie stemer on top and place your jewelry in the steamer and let it steam for about 20 minutes.
That's ok for Diamonds, Rubies and Sapphires but really BAD for emeralds, pearls, opals and a number of other stones. They might discolor, loose oil (emeralds), crack or simply fall off (glued pearls). The safest way for delicate stones is to use a tooth brush and soap and lukewarm water. Be careful about going from hot to cold water as the stone may fracture internally (such as Tanzanite).

No. Gold (as in 24K pure gold) is an element. However, 14K gold is a mixture of gold, copper, nickel and tin. 14K means it is 14/24ths gold, and 10/24ths another metal. BTW, pure 24K gold is almost never used for jewelry- it is too soft, and will bend. Most good gold jewelry is 14K.
14K means 14/24, of 7/12, which is 58% gold. Unplated means that a) the jewelry is not simply plated with the 14K gold, but it is 14K gold through and through, and b) the 14K gold is not plated with anything else.
14K gold does not turn color. If it does turn color, it is not solid gold but may be plated.
