Make old gold jewelry look new with a battery charger and homemade electrolyte

Please tell me how I can make my gold jewelry look new by giving a simple cleaning and electrolysis process in the house using some electrolyte and battery charger ⇦ on eBay or Amazon [affil link] in the house purely for home use

It is not really necessary to use an electrolytic process. Polishing works better. Because gold is soft, you probably have scratches. There are certain polishes that are good for gold. An internet search of such a product will help you. If the gold is just dirty, ultrasonic jewelry cleaners ⇦ on eBay or Amazon [affil link] with the cleaning solution included are very reasonable in price.
