You really shouldn't have to clean it. As it's only plated if you use a polishing cloth or silver cleaner you will rub off the gold finish.

You should wash it with a gentle detergent and dry with a soft cloth.

What is rodium plated sterling silver?

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.

Can you clean DiamonArt rings with regular jewelry cleaner?

Yes. The stone is a synthetic stone or what is called a CZ (cubic zirconium). The metal type of the DimonArt rings I have looked at is sterling silver. Your jewelry cleaning solution is selected by the metal type of the jewelry so if you have a sterling silver DiamonArt ring you would use sterling silver jewelry cleaner. Store bought jewelry cleaner works fine or you can use half Mr. clean and water with a small amount of ammonia. I will add a link to an article that explains how to do it.

How do you clean tarnish off jewelry?

For sterling jewelry jewelers use a sterling silver dip. I like Hagerty's dip. Jewelers also use baking soda and water when they don't have a sterling silver dip. Mix just enough water with baking soda to make a paste. Rub on your jewelry then rinse and dry. I would not use toothpaste. Using toothpaste is an old wife's tale and can harm your jewelry if you have a high polish fine jewelry. For platinum or gold, use Mr. Clean, water, and ammonia. This is what jewelers use in their ultra sonic to clean jewelry and is safe for all types of jewelry. Half Mr. Clean and water with just a little ammonia.
