Well here are the before and after photos of my cleaned up jewellery.

I tried toothpaste first it did take a little of the tarnish off but heavier duty cleaning was needed so I followed Pepperpixie's tips above. I found that after taking them out of the last solution there were still a few spots of tarnish on one chain in particular, so I used the paste again from Step 1 and used the green part of the kitchen sponge to rub the problem areas. I finished off with a good rinse with warm clean water and them dried everything well. I am particularly pleased with the first chain with the claddagh symbol which had gone black! It is now shining and you can see the stones clearly.

Many thanks to you all - I'm thrilled with the results!

PS I also used the leftover paste to clean my kitchen and bathroom taps so they are gleaming too and nothing was wasted!!
