White gold is rhodium plated (as in nature 'white gold' is actually grey) and this plating is thick and will last many years. If the metal is still nice and silvery-looking then just give it a good clean. In a basin, add some just-warm water and a few drops of mild detergent. Then with an old toothbrush, thoroughly scrub all along the chain, and pay particular attention the settings themselves as this is where dirt will accumulate. Clean around and behind the settings until you can see through to the back of the stone and it is nice and clean (providing the settings are open!). Blue topaz is usually irradiated to get it to the lovely blue colour and is softer than diamond, so avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive solutions (eg toothpaste is often recommended to clean diamonds) and extreme heat/cold.<br><b>References : </b><br>http://annettepiper.com/information.php?info_id=13 White gold won't tarnish although it can still get dirty.
