The best jewelry cleaner I use is called Connoisseurs. It is even recommend by Good Housekeeping. It's available at Kmart, Walmart, Rite Aid, or www.connoisseurs.com. It makes your jewelry just sparkle! I'm not sure whether your bracelet is white or yellow gold. Almost all White Gold has a Rhodium Plating over it, which from time to time needs to be re-plated. It costs around $15 - $35. Also, toothpaste is best used on un-plated Silver jewelry, as it can wear off the rhodium faster because of its gritty texture. If all else fails have your jeweler clean it. Some places will do this for free!

An old favorite that can clean almost anything. The answer Arm and Hammer Baking Soda. It only cost about .60 and if you add it to some hot water. It will have your gold sparkling.

In the jewelry section of Walmart, there is a bottle of gold treatment that cleans and prevents further stains from going on your jewelry. (They also have it for silver.) It works very well and doesnt damage the gold.

Best thing is to find a non-abrasive cleaning cloth, Dip in Boiling water with a little Sodium Bicarbonate mixed in with it but do not leave in for too long 30 Seconds maximum.

Take the piece to a jewelry shop and they will be able to help.

you can try to brush it with toothpaste, with a tooth brush, but my aunt boils her gold in a pot with hot water, and she says it works, but i have never tried it. and i think baking soda can work also.
