Sexy Angels Wear Statement Necklaces at the 2014 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show

For the first time ever, the gorgeous Victoria's Secret Angels flocked to London from New York for their annual lingerie show. Known as one of the sexiest shows on earth, the most-anticipated holiday presentation took over Earl's Court with skimpily dressed models.

Highlights include performances by Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande, who both had a good time sharing the stage with leggy supermodels. Sparkling through the runway were gilded wings made of 18k gold, which were worn by Karlie Kloss, who had some fun moments on stage with BFF Taylor Swift. The best part was when seasoned angels Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio stepped out wearing the Fantasy Bras.

Rihanna Stuns with a Chopard Diamond Necklace at Diamond Ball Charity Event

Rihanna was the belle of the ball on Thursday night at the first-ever annual Diamond Ball at The Vineyard. The sexy singer hosted the event, which benefits Riri's The Clara Lionel Foundation, which was founded in 2012 in honor of the singer's grandparents, Clara and Lionel Brathwaite.

While several A-listers attended the event, Rihanna was the most stunning of them all, wearing a very elegant Zac Posen fall 2014 gown in a dramatic deep rose hue. The off-shoulder number features bold shoulders, a short train, and a lovely pleated detail. The gown hugged Riri's curves perfectly in a mermaid silhouette. This might just be her most elegant look of the year!

What made this look more outstanding was the jaw-dropping Chopard tourmaline-and-diamond necklace, which was just the perfect piece of accessory to finish the pop singer's glamorous ensemble. To amp up the glam even more, Rihanna added matching rings and an intricate ruby cuff around her tattooed wrist.

Do Crystals Really Have Healing Power?

You’ve probably seen this somewhere - retailers selling crystal jewelry and claiming that they have healing powers. There are even crystal healers who offer holistic treatments to cleanse your body and spirit of bad energy.

Some New Age healing practitioners believe that these stones are magical and help alleviate stress, cure diseases, and even enhance psychic abilities. There are several types of crystal stones, and each is thought to provide different effects. Crystal healers say that believers are more likely to experience the benefits and powers of crystal stones.

Aside from their famous reputation of being able to heal, crystal stones are also a fashionable form of jewelry. They are incorporated in different pieces - earrings, necklaces, rings, and bracelets for a classic, timeless look. Some are also mixed with other gemstones that are believed to protect or bring luck to the wearer.
