Divas seeking a dramatic finish to a cocktail dress or evening gown will find an abundance of shiny baubles at this high-end costume jewelry shop, which is presided over by glittery-brooched saleswomen. The store's popular chunky necklaces hold together faux stones masquerading as turquoise, rose quartz, and carved jade; imitation coral branches are elastically linked into bracelets; and jet crystals dangle from earrings. Fake pearls occupy their own corner, strung into black and white chokers and long, delicate strands, while cocktail rings topped with impostor rubies, emeralds, and sapphires are stacked high in blingy assortments. Gold plating and Swarovski crystals abound, whether on hoop earrings or on dragonfly, starfish, and sunflower brooches. In a departure from jewelry-themed goods, the store also carries hooded microfiber raincoats, to help ensure that you make a sparkling and unruffled entrance. — Karen Hudes
