I agree with the 1st answer.
A very mild solution of fairy and warm water in a cup,
Drop the gold into it, give it a little stir, Take it out after a few mins then dry it.
You will be amazed what good old fairy can do.
Make sure you dry the inside of the locket properly.

Brighten up your gold jewelry by soaking them for 10 minutes in a solution of 1/2 cup clear ammonia mixed in 1 cup warm water. Gently wipe clean with a soft cloth and let dry. Note: Do not do this with jewelry containing pearls, because it could dull or damage their delicate surface.

Mr. Clean that's what jewelers usually use,soak it over night ,in the morning take an old toothbrush and scrub it
if you don't have one then just use a cloth .

this may sound strange but i use bathroom cleaner spray and an old toothbrush. believe it or not it brings it up a treat. test it on the chain before you do the whole thing

To be honest, just soap and warm water,gentle,between the hands,like when washing hands,then dry with clean duster,comes up lovely.

jewellers will sell cleaners. you;ll be able to clean in yourself in about 5 mins depending on how dirty the gold is.

Washing up liquid and hot water with a toothbrush works well, but failing that, any spirit such as gin, scotch, vodka also work well trust me!

Right - firstly don't sue me if it doesn't work - but I would try soaking them in washing up liquid over night. It's certainly worked for me in the past.
