Sadly, last week the world said goodbye to one of the true beautiful sirens of the silver screen, Elizabeth Taylor. Her beauty and violet eyes were unmistakeable and her love for jewellery was an obsession. She possessed an amazing jewellery collection which includes some of the most spectacular jewels in history - an antique diamond tiara, the Taj Mahal heart shaped yellow diamond necklace, the Duchess of Windsor diamond brooch, the 33 carat Krupp Diamond ring, the 69 carat Taylor-Burton diamond, the Grand Duchess of Russia emeralds and La Peregrina Pearl.
"I'm fortunate to have some very important pieces of jewelry. I don't believe I own any of the pieces. I believe that I am their custodian, here to enjoy them, to give them the best treatment in the world, to watch after their safety, and to love them." Elizabeth Taylor: My Love Affair with Jewelry
RIP Ms Taylor
