Ok, I am in the middle of CoS again, and on page 52 (American version) there is a mention of a magnificent necklace of opals that has a card by it that says it's cursed and has claimed the lives of 19 Muggle owners to date.  (This was in Borgin and Burkes).  Then I hurried up and went to check GoF and sure enough, in the Beauxbatons and Durmstrang chapter, Madame Maxime turns up wearing a magnificent necklace of opals.  No 
idea what this means, if anything at all, but I thought it was worth mentioning just to see if anyone has any ideas.
----------------------

I saw that too, and wondered if the opals might end up being "gifted" to Maxime in a future episode. I didn't think she was wearing the cursed ones, but given that she apparently likes them, she might be the recipient in the future. Especially since Draco more than notices them - he reads the card and smirks (filed away for future reference?). Harry picks up on all of this. Maybe Draco initiates something like this, but Harry (again) saves the day by recognizing what they really are. Hope he doesn't have another memory lapse like with the 2-way mirror, though!
