I have a question about getting my pin, the original one without the pearls, cleaned. It had unfortunately gotten kind of dingy looking. I want to make it bright again. Any suggestions?

I recommend taking it to a jeweler, especially if it has opals or pearls. These are semi precious stones and can't take the abrasiness of normal cleaners.
If you try on your own to clean it, use a gentle soap (like liquid ivory) and water with a soft toothbrush. Only use the toothbrush on the gold, use your fingers on the stones.
