I work in a jewelry store. You can use the bottled jewelry cleaner that is sold just about anywhere. No matter what anyone tells you, the expensive kind is not really better than the cheap kind.

My own personal choice is equal parts of Mr. Clean and water. Works just as well as a bottled cleaner. Another important part of the jewelry cleaning process is a cleaning cloth. Sad to say, I don't know really how these things work- but they do! After you clean and dry the ring, rub it with the cloth and it will sparkle brilliantly.

ETA: Toothpaste works well on diamonds and other non-porous stones in lower carat gold, and it works particularly well on silver. I would not, however, recommend toothpaste for semi-precious stones or anything more delicate, like 24K gold.
