WOW !! Very nice Roger. 
Here is a link covering the cleaning and care of Platinum objects.

If it is too scratched, you should let a jeweler polish it for you.
That ring is worth it.

Platinum is more durable than gold and will not turn that color. That looks like silver to me, use a little silver cream to clean it up. This is a quote from the link Rudy posted.

Because platinum is purer than gold, it doesn't fade or change color and it retains it retains a polish longer. Unquote.
That includes rings that have been in the ground a long time, like this one.

I believe the 950 is a silver designation. 950 means 95% silver. It is a common stamp used in silver jewelry.
The 18K designates gold, but perhaps a gold plating that has worn off due to the silver oxidizing.
Very nice find. Most nations use 925 (92.5% or "sterling") silver standard for jewelry. The 950 standard is required in France by law, so it could've been made in France or a French colony or any other nation importing into France.
Mexico also commonly uses 95% silver.
