Kim Kardashian Marries Kris Humphries
Kim Kardashian married Kris Humphries this weekend, not terribly long after becoming engaged and just a few days after she and her sisters launched a new fashion line. Take a look at Kim's 20.5 carat engagement ring and another stunner ring worn to the ceremony -- a diamond and platinum cocktail ring by Neil Lane.

The Buzz About Black Diamonds

Black Diamond Cuff Bracelet

You've probably seen lots of black diamonds lately, especially if you watch celebrity red carpet events. But take a glance at jewelry store displays the next time you walk by and you'll find that many designers are including these opaque gemstones in their current offerings. Black diamonds don't sparkle, but they have a depth of color that works when used alone (but still look perfect when combined with white diamonds and colorful gemstones).
