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?

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.

Dear Ms. Elitou:
I am 16 years old, and I received pearls for a Christmas gift from my boyfriend. What in the world do I wear with pearls?

At 16 years old, there are many things that you can wear with pearls, and depending on the length of the strand, plenty of ways to wear them. Perish the thought that pearls are just for your mom and your grandma. Pearls are for every girl that loves to be stylish and girly.
Pearls are actually really easy and fun to wear at the office! You can pair them with your blazers, button-downs, suits, sweaters and all of your business attire. It is amazing that there are so many choices of pearls when looking for bracelets, rings, necklaces and earrings. You have the option of different colors, designs, and pearl sizes. When looking for pearls for the workplace, look for simplistic and chic looks so that you will not be a distraction.
