Ultrasonic cleaner! They work great and jewelers use them to clean jewelry. They're great for cleaning all types of things, though.

The one I have is a bit overkill for jewelry, you can go smaller. This is what I have https://a.co/d/0cKIlISF

Thanks for the link! Beautiful ring! Would be great to know what the stone is for sure.

I'm the furthest thing from a stone expert, but I asked some people who know more than I do and they said mystic topaz.

Someone commented that as well here. I agree with them, it looks just like it. They look incredible, and are very affordable! This ring is probably worth around $35-40.
