Hi Jeanette,

    Have you tried using an ionic cleaner for removing the tarnish? 

    Ionic cleaners work by using electrolysis for removing the tarnish.
    Unless the the liquid in the cleaner is an unusual one I've never
    had it affect stones or pearls. However, that's not to say that it
    might not someday. 

    In the US Speedbrite is a good ionic cleaner brand. Usual
    disclaimers, just a satisfied user. 

Dave
