She mesmerized audiences with her beauty for years, had an extra row of eyelashes due to a rare genetic disorder and was even late for her own funeral – now Liz Taylor’s entire exquisite jewellery collection, valued at $30m, will go under the hammer at Christie’s auction house in New York on December 13 – 14.
Taylor loved her jewels and expressed that she would want them to go to good homes once she had passed. The breath-taking collection includes a 33.19ct diamond ring, 16th century pear-shaped pearl and the famous 17th century Taj Mahal heart-shaped diamond pendant. Serious collectors will be able to make an appointment try on pieces from the collection.
