Just go to a jewelry store, they usually do it for free.

Toothpaste. Nothing fancy. Apply some on your hands and rub your jewelry a few times over. Rinse off with warm water or until there's no more toothpaste.
I did this for years and still do it today.

toothpaste is a polish and can potentially be abrasive. i learnt from a customer at value village that lipstick works. she even showed me how well it works on some of our jewelry!

I have a silver ring that is beyond a simple toothpaste treatment (this I know because I just tried it)
Whats the next best step up for something really scratched/tarnished?

Whats the next best step up for something really scratched/tarnished? | Get it re-polished if it's really scratched and tarnished.

Anybody ever been to the premium outlet in vegas? There's this all natural solution that cleans silver jewelry by dipping your jewelry into the green solution. There's also this cloth thing that buffs it out and the cloth turns black after you use it. There was a stand and my friend tried it for free and it actually works. I'm pretty sure they sell that stuff here too.

Did it before, worked like a charm.

go to tiffanys and pick up a silver cloth. it has stuff in it to remove tarnish, and to prevent it from building up again. got one and it's huge!! like a beach blanket huge...well maybe not that big but it's good enough to use forever for jewlery n pens n stuff.
