Reply to comment by OwlFreckles in Ring cleaning in PVD by OwlFreckles

FWIW platinum is easily cleaned in a solution of cold water and ammonia in a 1:1 ratio. Let it sit for 30 minutes and use a soft bristle toothbrush for residual tarnish. My wedding band stays blindingly shiny :) (I clearly have no jeweler recommendations - happy hunting!)

Will that work for a gold ring with gemstones?

Depends. It may work but you run the risk of loosening a gemstone and having it fall out

Gold is a tough one because it's...well not tough. Polishing silver is definitely easiest. Good luck!
