Silver Vintage Jewelry

Can i put my taxco silver vintage jewelry in a liquid solution-style jewelry cleaner?
It has some blueish/greenish colored areas ,but I have no idea if that's turquoise or some tinted enamel. How should I clean the silver? Should I assume it's sterling silver? Does that make a difference? It's old and badly tarnished...thanks!
just to clarify, the blueish/greenish areas are stones or something...the metal itself is not turning blue/green. It's just silver but tarnished.
Yeah you can use jewelry cleaner or do this:
Cover the inside bottom of a heat-proof glass dish bowl with a piece of aluminum foil, shiny side up.
Place the tarnished silver in the bottom of the dish, on the aluminum foil.
Add 1 heaping tablespoon of baking soda, and then slowly pour boiling water to cover the piece. The tarnish will gradually collect on the aluminum foil.
Remove your silver, rinse thoroughly and dry.
If you live near a jeweler, she/he can tell you if its turquoise and what sort of silver it is, before you even clean it.
