Nicole Kidman's pearl-draped diamond hoops were classic, and Alicia Keys looked stunning in diamond button earrings.

Michael Jackson Memorabilia Sells for $2-Million

Sunday November 22, 2009

Michael Jackson Glove AuctionedMichael 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.

Jewelry on models was all about bold shapes and color, exactly what you would expect to see at this kind of event.
