Best Answer

If you are seeing rust, it's not silver. It's silverplate and the plating has worn off. Silver tarnishes but does not rust. Having said that, Maas metal polish will take it off and it will not harm what silver there is. Talk with your jeweler about replating the item.

How do you get rust off a silver ring?

Silver doesn't rust. It tarnishes black. If your ring has classic 'rust' on it; characterized by a reddish colour and crumbly texture, then it is an iron alloy not silver. A decent tri-oil wiped and rubbed will help this and shouldn't damage the metal any more than the iron oxide('rust') has already done. If your item is tarnished black(ish) however, it is silver and a jewelers polishing cloth ( found at many craft stores) or even a simple paste of baking soda and vinegar applied and rubbed with a clean rag or a toothbrush should improve the appearance of your ring greatly. Try to avoid anything more abrasive than this as it could damage the item.
