Farther north at Oscar de la Renta on the Upper East Side, I found a varied selection from the spring collection. I thought most plastic accessories looked young and cheap, but the assortment here was completely sophisticated and also totally expensive. The Lucite disks on the necklace I loved the most were interspersed with three large white pearls. That made it extremely heavy. After a full day of wear, I'd look like a hunchback. 772 Madison Ave., at 66th St.; 212-288-5810.
