Debra Messing (in Donna Karan), Garcelle Beauvais and Rumer Willis were among the stars who sat down for an elegant lunch and the chance to check out more than $45 million worth of diamond jewelry-paired with some of the season's most incredible gowns-from jewelers like Bulgari, David Yurman and Fred Leighton. And while there was lots of looking, some guests opted for a hands-on approach. "I'm not taking this off!" declared Messing, plucking a diamond ring from one of the sparkling displays and slipping in onto her finger. -Bronwyn Barnes EXCLUSIVE VIDEO Go inside the event and hear the stars talk diamonds, fashion and champagne at lunch! 02 of 08 Rumer Willis Jordan Strauss/WireImage "I haven't decided [on a dress] yet!" admitted Rumer Willis, who will serve as Miss Golden Globe at Sunday's ceremony.
