From Carly Wickell, your Guide to Jewelry
Huge necklaces seem to be a trend in the front rows at New York Fashion Week -- some good, some not-so.

Lush Diamonds for People and Pets
Most of these diamonds aren't set into jewelry that you or I will buy the next time we go shopping. In fact, pieces with the most diamonds aren't jewelry at all, like the platinum and diamond encrusted skull, cast from the skull of a real, live human being who lived three centuries ago.

Alexander McQueen in Paris, 2009
I was saddened when I heard about the death of British fashion designer Alexander McQueen. His fashion shows were always events to follow, like "Everything and the Kitchen Sink," last year's show during Paris Fashion Week, where a pile of stuff was piled onto the runway -- all props from past events, including a kitchen sink of course. Milliner Philip Treacy came up with some unusual "hats" for the show, blending them with the circus-like atmosphere that accompanied the theme.
