I would not use toothpaste. I have seen videos where really cheap jewelry was cleaned using toothpaste and it did make the jewelry shinier than before.
Toothpaste is abrasive so it is kind of like using fine sand paper on your jewelry. Using toothpaste is an old wives tale. You can use a toothbrush with a cleaning solution. The solution I use and many jewelry stores is half Mr. Clean and water with a small amount of water. Soak for 15 seconds then rinse with water and dry.
I will attach a link that has more information.

You COULD use whatever you would like to clean your jewelry, but it is highly recommended to get your jewelry cleaned at your local jewelers. Toothpaste or any other cleaners that are not specified as "safe" for your specific jewelry (gold, silver, etc.) are probably not a good idea to use. They could damage or permanently discolor your jewelry. If there is an intricate design, toothpaste could get in the grooves and make it look worse than when you started.

Does toothpaste clean sterling silver?
Do NOT EVER use toothpaste to clean your jewelry - its abbrasive and will scratch the metal. I use plain ol windex (amonia) and if you happen to have a steam cleaner put it to use on cleaning your jewelry!! The simple tried and true stuff is usually the way to go - and who cant get ahold of a bottle of windex? - even the knock off will work - as its basic ingredient is amonia. See your gems and jewels come out sparking like brand new!!

This works just as well as jewelry cleaner and is what many jewelry stores use in their ultrasonic. Allow the piece to soak for 15 minutes in the solution then rinse with water.

Rinse and dry. I have seen other solutions used including toothpaste on inexpensive jewelry, but toothpaste is abrasive and I would not use this on any jewelry worth anything.
