How do you clean cheap gold jewelry?

To bring back the shine for a 14 karat gold piece of jewelry I would use a polishing cloth which can be purchased online or at most jewelry stores. They are inexpensive. Use the cloth to rub the gold on the ring. The cloth has special chemicals which react with the gold to remove the tarnish. The cloth will turn black, but don't throw it away. The cloth will be good for a long time after it turns black.

After polishing your jewelry you may want to clean it. Use a mixture of half Mr. clean and water with a small amount of ammonia. Soak for 15 seconds then rinse in water and dry.
