It’s a wide cuff bracelet of hammered silver colored metal.
I’ve only worn it 3 times then it sat in a drawer. There’s a film of gunky stuff that makes it dull and it doesn’t go away by wiping wit a dry or damp kleenex.
What can I use to clean it with, please? It’s not real silver, just costume jewelry. Thanks.

I’m new to jewelery making and I’m trying to create a necklace that will be made mostly of 18 gauge dead soft silver wire. I’d like to add some other bits like tiny hearts and flowers and thought the precious metal clay would be the easiest way to sculpt those parts. I’ll be using a butane torch to solder the wire parts but how do I go about joining the clay bits once they are fired? Will I need solder or flux?
