Fashion Week is gearing up in the Big Apple, and while there will be lots of frocks and hand bags making headlines, don't forget the jewelry folks. You may look great in that couture dress, but you are still not complete with out the right baubles to go with it.

If you are lucky enough to be among the fashion forward crowd in New York, then take some advice from New York Post's Liz Smith, and get in on the diamond action courtesy of the Diamond Information Center:

IF YOU need to take a break from the fashion tents next Tuesday in New York City, just cross the street to the Bryant Park Hotel on W. 40th, and slip up to The loft suite.

There you'll find the Diamond Information Center displaying the latest trends in baubles. Little things to wear with those drop-dead clothes being strutted down the catwalks nearby. The DIC offers breakfast, lunch and cocktails (don't drink too much - diamonds are forever, and some take forever to pay for!) The setup will boast a lot of glittery right-hand rings, and more classic pieces. Neil Lane for DeBeers, Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels - the usual suspects. Remember the immortal words of "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" heroine Lorelei Lee: "I just love finding new places to wear diamonds!" That should be the DIC's new catchphrase, if you ask me.
