Most really old antique jewelry that is white and beautiful should only be worn very occasionally because it had its wear. It has been used many years already. Often times we will make a matching ring with modern or a new material to wear but keep the antique ring in the jewelry box. To care for that or any other jewelry just soak it in water and dip a little dish soap on it. Rinse it off and keep an eye out on all that stones that are in it. Often times the wearing of the pieces have worn out and the stones are just barely hanging in there. A little bit of time is going to get them. Very carefully clean them and don't wear them very often.
