ASK MS. ELITOU: How can I incorporate pearls into my festival outfit?

Posted by

“Hi Ms. Elitou!

I am twenty-two years old and I am extremely excited for all the upcoming festivals this summer, so to the point that I am planning my style. I am really into the crop top style and I have fell in love with this tie dyed top so I am hoping that you can help me create a look that will not only include the above mentioned, but also trendy styles that are “in” today! I must also mention I am a huge fan of pearls but I have no idea how to make it all work without being a fashion faux pas. Do you have any style advice?” read more

“I think fashion is a lot of fun. I love clothes. More than fashion or brand labels, I love design. I love the thought that people put into clothes. I love when clothes make cultural statements and I think personal style is really cool. I also freely recognize that fashion should be a hobby.”

ASK MS. ELITOU:  Can I polish my pearls with toothpaste?

Posted by

Hello Ms. Elitou! I was given my Grandmother’s pearls as an anniversary gift and I want to make them look as new as I can. I want to polish them with toothpaste like my other jewelry but I am not sure if they would be safe if I did that. What are your thoughts?

-Aliza W.

Hi Aliza! Thank you for reaching out! I am very happy that you asked this question because I believe many have the same thought when it comes to cleaning pearls.

The answer is NO! It is very important to not use toothpaste on pearls, turquoise, vintage Bakelite, or vintage rhinestones, because they have softer surfaces and may get scratched. read more
