Oversize earrings were one of the most prominent jewelry trends at the 2010 Primetime Emmy Awards, along with large cocktail rings and bib necklaces. Platinum appeared to be the favorite metal, but some celebrities chose yellow gold pieces, like Jayma Mays and Jenna Ushkowitz, who both wore jewelry by Neil Lane. Julia Ormond's cuff bracelet, gold with a bird-on-a-wire made of diamonds, was a favorite, and so were the bracelets and rings in this photo, Ofira jewelry worn by Lauren Graham.

Although she's remembered for her kindness and her charitable work, Diana Spencer became a fashion icon during the years after her 1981 marriage to Prince Charles. Diana had access to the British Royal Family's jewelry, and assembled a collection of her own before her death in 1997. And although Diana wore many types of jewelry, a few components and styles were constant: pearls and chokers. She wasn't afraid to combine jewelry to create a look that differed from the originals, or to wear jewelry in unconventional ways (like the emerald choker Diana wore as a headband during a trip to Australia in 1985). Take a look back at some of Diana's jewelry, beginning in 1980.

Zsa Zsa Gabor's Hollywood career was winding down during the decade I was born, but it's easy to become familiar with her from interviews and film clips. The Hungarian actress and socialite is as well known for her nine marriages and flippant persona (quote: Getting divorced just because you don't love a man is almost as silly as getting married just because you do) as she is for her work on-screen. Ninety-three year old Gabor was injured in a fall last month, and current reports about her condition are conflicting. Her ninth husband and her publicist both indicate she's in critical condition, but her daughter (whose father was Gabor's second husband, Conrad 'Nicky' Hilton) disputes the claims.
