The squeals rang through the store as our new shipment of vintage-inspired jewelry by Sweet Romance and their new division, Ollipop!, was unpacked. Within nanoseconds (where's my geek pen?) one of our associates had a wide Ollipop! cuff bracelet on her wrist to wear as she redesigned displays - it was not entirely a sure thing that anyone would be able to wrest it away from her at shift's end. Sweet Romance is a line of costume jewelry researched and designed by artist and historian Shelley Cooper in her Los Angeles factory. Her creations radiate authenticity of distinct fashion eras, from the Renaissance to Retro, from the glory of ancient Egypt to the deco of 1940's America. The pieces become the focal point of your ensemble, undeniable statements of your fashion sense and daring. And then there are the squeals of delight - music to our ears.
