I store all my vintage costume jewelry out of the air in either a dresser, or a cabinet on trays, or in a bin or in drawers in plastic carts. The pieces are either on trays or in compartmented boxes - and some are in plastic "drawers." I live near the ocean and there is a lot of salt spray...

Welcome to the Forum and thank you for posting your Hawaiian dress. I changed the spelling of the name in your title from Elise to Elsie. I did a search for Elsie Krassas and found her obituary - and several other pieces available online...
A few enameled pieces from my personal collection:
Reinad Enamel Moonstone Brooch (Signed Chanel in script) - 1941
Purple, Red, Pink Enamel Pot Metal Flower Brooch
(Unsigned) Coro Enameled Flower Brooch
Potmetal Violet Enamel Flower Brooch
