To clean up these...get 2 dry clothes and a regular toothpaste. Put some toothpaste on a cloth, rub it on these jewelry and use other cloth to wipe. I saw it on tv then I tried it on my jewelry and it worked well. I hope this helps.

Actually, the metals or their oxides are being deposited on your skin.  Color changes can be accelerated by acidity and moisture from your skin.\n\nYou can slow the reaction down if you want to wear some jewelry by coating it with a thin coating of vaseline.  This will keep it from getting wet from your skin as easily.

It's important to pay close attention to the metal that the earrings are made of, and that they be very clean (isopropyl alcohol) when they go in, and that they not be left in more than 24 hours without cleaning again.\n\nMost people find 14 ct. or higher gold to be the least irritating metal.  Of course, these earrings can be expensive.  Hypo allergenic studs should be good, but I think there's a lot of variation and don't know precisely what that means regarding each particular earring.  I've seen some that claim "surgical steel' and while that should be good, again, I'm not sure what the standards are, even if there are any.\n\nGo with the gold, either yellow or white (if they like a silver look).  And make sure they're very clean when they change them (clean hands too).

Sometimes they are better.  There is a formula for cleaning grubby little brass items (screws, hinges, hooks, Meccano gears etcetera): mix 1 teaspoonful of cream of tartar with one and a half teaspoons of washing-up liquid and a little cold water, add half a pint of scalding water, add the metal items, stir for 60 to 90 seconds, drain and rinse.  This either leaves the items gleaming, or loosens their tarnish so much that a gentle scrub with cream cleanser leaves them gleaming.  Nothing commercial is anything like as good as this.

You need a solution of gold sulfate or gold chloride to do it, but it has to be extremely pure, made with distilled/deionized water.  Remember to have your ring on the anion (the negative) and your gold source on the cation.

Where do you live? also... What type of cleaning?\n\nFlyers are useless.. and you are going to really struggle if you are not specific enough.

You can change your yellow gold ring to white by having a jeweller coat it with rodium.  This is not permanent, it will eventually wear off.

ADULTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO FOLLOW THESE STEPS FOR CLEANING UP BROKEN GLASS THERMOMETERS CONTAINING MERCURY, which is the most frequently encountered mercury spill or release in homes and schools:\n\nKeep children and pets away from the broken glass. \nWear chemically resistant household cleaning gloves.  DO NOT TOUCH anything that might be released from the broken glass that appears bright or shiny silver. \nBe especially alert to the presence of bright and shiny liquid mercury beads, droplets, or small balls that may glide along the surface of most household surfaces when released from broken glass thermometers.   DO NOT TOUCH THE SILVER LIQUID MERCURY BEADS OR DROPLETS WITH YOUR BARE HANDS.  This type of mercury can enter your body by direct contact or accidental ingestion, which is why gloves are recommended.  CHILDREN AND PETS ARE ESPECIALLY ATTRACTED TO THE SHINY LIQUID MERCURY BEADS BECAUSE OF THEIR BRIGHT GLIMMERING APPEARANCE AND THE FACT THAT THE BEADS APPEAR TO GLIDE OVER HARD, SMOOTH SURFACES, SUCH AS PAVED CONRETE, TILED, OR CERAMIC FLOORS. \nA graphic representation of what liquid mercury beads or droplets look like and additional details on what you should do if you have a small mercury spill can be found at the EPA Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response mercury web site,  http://www.epa.gov/mercury/disposal.htm \nIf you see any released mercury, take steps to minimize release of the mercury into a vapor or gas by temporarily turning off any near-by fans and closing near-by heat vents or windows and doors.  After the thermometer’s clean-up is complete, open the doors and increase the ventilation in your home. \nDO NOT USE A VACUUM SWEEPER, BROOM OR OTHER DEVICE TO ATTEMPT REMOVING THE MERCURY.  IT WILL ONLY SPREAD THE MERCURY AND MAKE REMOVAL OF THE MERCURY MORE DIFFICULT. \nIf liquid mercury from the thermometer has been released, clean it up indirectly using a small glass siphon (sucking) system.  For very small amounts that might escape a single household thermometer, a glass medicine eyedropper such as found in a drug store can be used as the siphoning system to suck up the released liquid mercury. If an eyedropper cannot readily be found or purchased, an alternative clean-up system involving transfer of the mercury to a disposable, absorbent material such as soft tissue paper supported by more rigid paper can sometimes be attempted.  (See this EPA link for additional information on materials needed and additional steps at  http://www.epa.gov/mercury/disposal.htm). \nAlthough most escaped liquid mercury forms beads and droplets that can be sucked up using a small glass eyedropper, there may be times when very rough household surfaces, such as carpets, furniture, or clothing, can trap the liquid mercury or make those items appear stained.  When this happens, it is best to remove the material that has become stained and no longer use it.   (See EPA link for additional information and steps.) \nUntil you can properly dispose of the mercury materials, you should temporarily store the broken glass thermometer and any liquid mercury you captured in your glass siphon system in an airtight plastic or glass container to prevent possible mercury gas being released over time. Common household containers with airtight lids and seals (e.g., an empty mayonnaise jar, a canning jar, or enclosed plastic milk bottle) can serve as a temporary holding container for the mercury and broken thermometer.  Choose a container large enough to contain your mercury spill materials. \nLabel the container or jar clearly as “Mercury and broken glass” or “Mercury Waste”.   As an extra security measure, after sealing the lid tightly on the container, you can apply duct tape or plastic mailing/wrapping tape around the lid.  Keep that container in a locked area and out of the reach of your children for a short period of time, until you can dispose of the container properly.  As soon as possible, take the container to a household h

yes, you can have a jeweler do it\n\nbut i would not recomend it\nreal gold is very soft\n\nthat is why it is hardened with nickel.\n\ntalk to a jeweler and explain what you want.\nyou did not specify if the gold you wanted to cover was pure or an alloy.

Skip the dry cleaning.  That's just unhealthy anyway.  Soak the pieces in baking soda, with hot water.  You can also soak them in vinegar, but not at the same time, since that could cause corrosion.  Make sure one is completely rinsed out before you do the next soak.\n\nIf that still doesn't work (though it should), just tell your friend that these pieces were damaged accidentally and exclude them.  Or  you can just tell her the truth.  She sounds like a good friend who would understand.

A jewelers cloth or fine silver polish is best.  Cheap polishes and toothpaste will work, but they also leave very tiny scratches which will get water and dirt in them and cause the ring to tarnish again more quickly.
