From Carly Wickell, your Guide to Jewelry
Oscars night is almost here, and that means I'll have a non-stop Sunday evening, gathering pics of jewelry looks on the red carpet. Watch the Jewelry home page for updates throughout the night, with first-hand descriptions from leading designers.

Best Oscars Jewelry of the Decade
Hilary Swank's intricate diamond necklace ushered in a new century at the Academy Awards ceremonies. But as the end of the decade neared, Oscars jewelry become more varied, with more and more styles created from black and colorful diamonds, along with designs fashioned from other colored gemstones. Take a look back at jewelry at the Oscars, 2000-2009.

Celebrity Engagement Rings
Like other celebrity jewelry, celebrity engagement rings can forecast trends in ring design. Want a closer look? This gallery can help, and reveals in-depth details about some of the rings. It includes a picture of the ring "Bachelor" Jake Pavelka gave to Vienna on the popular reality show.

Must-Know Facts About Diamond Fluoresence
Fluorescence is a characteristic that makes some diamonds appear to change color when they are exposed to ultraviolet light. It can be perceived as a pro or a con, depending on your personal preferences and the type of color shift that occurs.

Diamond Irradiation & Heat Treatments
Irradiation, followed by a high heat treatment, can turn brown and yellow diamonds into fancy colored diamonds -- greens, vivid yellows, blues, purples, reds and other colors.
