How to clean silver and gemstone jewelry?

Anti-technology Girl asked:


I have a silver and carnelian necklace. The silver is oxidized and I want to know how to clean it without harming the carnelian. A silver cloth is out of the question becuase the necklace is too detailed.

There is a method of cleaning silver which involves baking soda, hot water and aluminum foil, can anyone give me the exact details on this or other home remedies? Thanks.
