I think that what makes a costume great is the details. Sure, you may have a really great Cleopatra costume, but wouldn’t it be perfect with a snake arm band? How about a medal for Dracula? It could be the attention you pay to your costume’s jewelry that helps you win that costume contest.

One vendor has a huge selection of jewelry. Their selection of tiaras was great along with the large variety of pimp jewelry, studded chokers and bracelets, and gypsy earrings. They also had pocket watches and zoot suit chains, and a whole lot more. Another vendor also has a lot of jewelry for you to check out.

You might not think that the little details matter when putting together a costume, but trust me on this one, they really do.
