Elizabeth Taylor was a beautiful, talented and glamorous icon. I look at old pictures of her and feel overwhelmed with her elegance and poise. Although much of her private life was splashed in the media, I am more concerned with her fashion choices and how she chose to represent herself. Elizabeth would always look groomed to perfection with her prominent thick eyebrows and lipstick in tact. She literally oozed old Hollywood glamour. Elizabeth became synonymous with jewellery and was often seen at events dripping in diamonds. My Mum mentioned to me recently that there will be an auction of her jewellery pieces this year and that the sets were beautiful.
I looked it up and indeed thousands of pounds worth of jewellery belonging to Elizabeth Taylor is to go on sale in Christie’s first ever online-only auction.
Internet shoppers can bid on more than 950 of the late actress’s belongings, which also include clothes, shoes, handbags and pieces of artwork. Prices range from £62 for a pair of the star’s Chanel earrings to a whopping £6,300 for a diamond and 18-carat white gold necklace with 126 circular cut diamonds.
I had a closer look at some of the pieces and they are breathtaking. I have picked some of my favourites. These are going on my (very unlikely) #GWishlist.
What a stunning woman with exquisite taste.
