Last week Nicole Kidman was croning over Russell Crowe at his concert and this week she's getting jewels from another hunk.

Italian film maker Fabrizio Lombardo purchased a little diamond and topaz number at an AIDS fundraiser auction last week and gave it to his "good friend" Nicole. When the bidding stopped, Fabs had spent $26,000 on the necklace.

A friend of both Nicole and Fabrizio said, "They have known each other for years, since she arrived in Hollywood. They are very good friends and have become closer since she split from Tom."

Let's see how her Australian sweetie will top that one.
