How can you clean silver jewelry?
There are two levels of clean when talking about sterling silver jewelry. The piece of sterling jewelry could be either simply dirty or tarnished or both. If the piece is only dirty a solution of Mr. Clean, water, and ammonia can be used. Mix half water and Mr. Clean with a small amount of ammonia. This is the same solution many jewelers I know use in their ultrasonic to clean all types of fine jewelry. Allow the jewelry to soak for 15 seconds then rinse with water and dry. You can repeat if need be. More likely than not sterling jewelry is also tarnished. Sterling does tarnish much quicker than gold or platinum. Removing tarnish from sterling silver jewelry is easy. Mix just enough water with baking soda to make a paste and use the paste to rub on the jewelry to remove the tarnish. Rinse with water then dry.
How do you clean tarnish off of gold over sliver earrings?
Gold jewelry doesn't actually tarnish, but sometimes it can appear that way because of the other metals mixed in with it. According to ColorSpark Studio, because gold is soft, it is often mixed with other metals to become an alloy; "the silver and copper in the alloy may react to the oxygen, sulphur and moisture in the air and eventually turn the gold jewelry dark." Gold jewelry also can get a dirty appearance from oils or lotions from your skin. To clean your gold jewelry, all you will need is some common household items; no need for expensive jewelry cleaners.

Why are silver and gold good metals to use for jewelry and magnesium is not?
Silver and Gold are very unreactive, meaning that they won't tarnish easily, or change colour. Gold is perfect because it never reacts at all where as silver does tarnish, so it isn't as highly prized. Also, Gold and silver don't burn. Burning magnesium is bright enough to blind you
