    Thanks to all who provided so much information and advice. Wayne,
    your suggestion to boil the piece in detergent and water worked
    great-- it got the residue off but preserved the polish. I didn't
    want to try pickling the piece (except as a last resort) because that
    would have taken the polish off. Thanks also for the information that
    tumbling it would not have worked, that it probably would have made
    it worse-- I was about to order a rotary tumbler and all the
    supplies, which I can't afford right now, and anyway polishing by
    hand seems easiest to me. 

    Mary, I will try your cleaning and boiling process if the next ring
    becomes encrusted just like the last one. 

    There is so much I have to learn yet!

Jessica
