My lovely bride has an 'inexpensive' silver ring that she _really_
likes and wears most of the time. It came with a lovely "tarnish"

and each time it has come back nicely cleaned and shiny. The tarnish
comes back but takes quite a while.
Is there an "easy", "quick" way to renew the tarnish?

Yes, boil an electrolyte solution of salt and soda, put a clump of
aluminum foil into the boilig electrolyte, then lower the ring in it.

I forgot if it needs to touch the electrolyte or not.

Works great.

No. Iggy. That will remove the tarnish.
He wants to get it back.
