A polishing cloth works great to remove tarnish from white and yellow gold.

To clean gold jewelry use a solution of half Mr. Clean and water with a small amount of ammonia. Soak for 15 seconds then rinse with water and dry.

If the white gold ring has a yellow tint, you may need to bring the ring into a jewelry store to have it rhodium plated again.

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.
