Hello Faith, I would not use jewelry for making CS. It is too likely to be sterling, if that pure! Best bet would to be to take them to a pawn shop that buys scrap gold and silver, sell them, and find a .999 pure silver coin to use as and electrode.
Along those lines, I use a silver ingot for +, and a stainless spoon for -, I am sure I saw on this list it was ok for cathode to be stainless, but have not seen anyone recommend it lately. Is it OK?
