A trend towards black and white diamonds was visible at the American Music Awards. Rihanna wore the combo on her fingers and Whitney Houston paired black and white chandeliers with a ruffled cuff bracelet. Paula Abdul wore a wide stack of platinum and garnet bracelets on one wrist, while Janet Jackson chose studded-leather bracelets for her AMA performance. Nicole Kidman's pearl-draped diamond hoops were classic, and Alicia Keys looked stunning in diamond button earrings.

Michael Jackson wore this left-handed rhinestone glove during his solo performance at the Motown 25 TV special in 1983, the night he changed the meaning of the word Moonwalk. It was constructed by sewing mesh-backed strips of rhinestones to a golf glove, and isn't nearly as intricate (or expensive) as the right-hand Swarovski-studded gloves he'd worn prior to the event. The glove was put together at the last minute, after plans for Michael's Billie Jean dance moves demanded a free right hand. It sold yesterday for $420,000 (which includes a 25-percent buyer's fee) at a Times Square auction arranged by Julien's.

Marisa Miller was the diamond girl at last night's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. She walked the runway in a bra set with 150-carats of white and colored diamonds valued at $3-million. Fergie and the Black Eyed Peas performed at the show -- Fergie wore several white gold and diamond pieces from Cartier, including a $1.1-million cluster necklace. Jewelry on models was all about bold shapes and color, exactly what you would expect to see at this kind of event.
