1. Shine silver: Tarnish is the enemy, and here are your weapons: For items that are merely dull, filmy, or starting to discolor, mix a few drops of mild dish soap with warm water, and dip in a soft cloth. Rub the jewelry, then rinse in cool water and buff with a cloth until dry. For heavier tarnish, mix a paste of three parts baking soda to one part water. Wet the silver and apply the cleaner with a soft, lint-free cloth (not paper towels, which can scratch). Work the paste into the crevices, turning the cloth as it gets gray. Rinse; buff dry. Don’t soak silver; this speeds up rather than removes tarnish.
3. Freshen your pearls: Because they’re so porous, pearls can easily lose their luster. Whether real, cultured, or faux, they must be cleaned with care. First lay the strand on a soft cloth. Dip a clean, small makeup brush into a mixture of warm water and a little shampoo, and go over each pearl. To finish, rinse the pearls with a clean, well-wrung damp cloth. Let the strand dry flat to prevent the string from stretching. This no-soak treatment is also good for turquoise, another porous stone.
Make It Easier Next Time:
Try Connoisseurs UltraSoft Silver Jewelry Polishing Cloth ($6), designed for cleaning silver. Silver’s shinier the more it’s worn (the friction slows down tarnishing), but storing pieces in antitarnish bags can help.
Remove rings when washing your hands or applying lotions, to keep the settings clean.
After wearing, wipe body oils and perfume off pearls with a soft cloth.

Have you ever heard about the Apple Veniger.
Use is with a soft piece of cloth wet with the apple veniger and clean the silver it will shine and you can use it also to clean the pearl. Try to dry it as soon as possible. By the way when you use the apple veniger you will not need to clean the ring again may be after a while. Good Luck

A tooth brush, washing up liquid and warm water. Dry as soon as you have cleaned your ring.
