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.

Silver (coins) do NOT rust. Rust the iron when oxidised. Silver will oxidise very slowly, to form silver oxide, which is black in colour, This oxidation process can take weeks/months to occur. If you have any silverware, you will normally polish it once a week. this prevents oxidiation. However, if you leave it unpolished for say , 6 months, the silver will appear dull or black in places; this is silver oxide.
The common name for silver oxide is simply silver(I) oxide.
