This past March when Elizabeth Taylor passed away, CED wrote about her Passion for Jewelry, It seems like we were ahead of the times then.
This December there will be a two-day jewelry auction in New York. On December 13, 80 jewels from Elizabeth Taylor’s private collection will be auctioned off, followed on December 14 by another 189 glamorous, glimmering Elizabeth[an] jewels. Christie’s New York, where the auction will be held, released a statement saying this will be, “the greatest private collection of jewelry ever assembled in one place.”
Some estimates say the jewels will clear over $30 million. A portion of the proceeds will go to The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation. Highlights of the collection will visit Los Angeles on October 13, 14, 15 and 16, at MOCA Pacific Design Center.
The Elizabeth Taylor Jewelry Auction wouldn’t be complete without these iconic pieces:
the Ping Pong Diamond Rings
the 33 carat Krupp Diamond
See for yourself in October what else the collection contains!
Have an infinitely modern day!
