how to clean it?

Brewers, KY(Zone 6b)

I found moms old wedding dress rolled up in her hope chest. It has been packed away for 50 years. Most of it was hand sewn by my grandmother. The problem is that the beads caused "rust" on the fabric. Is there anyway to clean this? The dress is made of silk. Can I wash this with water or should I send it to the cleaners? Here is a picture of it.
