About two years ago I got a sterling silver ring from Tiffany's, and i just love the ring so much that i never took it off. Over the years i noticed it got duller and duller, also there's just so many scratches on it. If i were to take to Tiffany's will they be able to repolish it so that it looks shiny again?

Probably. But if they can't do it themselves, I bet they'll be able to recommend to you someplace that will. Cheers.

You can probably brighten it substantially with plain old silver polish, although that won't make the patina of scratches normal with jewelry worn on the hands disappear.
Sterling (and most silver plate) will get very shiny again with silver polish, and all but the deepest gouges will not be especially noticeable when it's gleaming.
I scratched a large, relatively flat surface of a silver ring. The jeweler I took it to for a buffing convinced me to leave it alone. "It looks bad to you, now, but when you've got five scratches and a scrape or two on this part, it's going to have some character and will look better than straight out of the box. Signs of wear show you love it. I'd rather see one of my rings a little worse for the wear, you know? The only repairs I recommend are bad clasps and damage to stone settings."

I'm sure Tiffany's will be able to clean and polish. I think any jewlery store should be able to restore it. Maybe buy yourself some silver polisher in the meantime from a jewlery counter.
