The exhibition will take place on September 15-16 in the demonstration hall of GUM. this was reported in the press service of the auction house Christie's, which, according to the will of the actress, in December will arrange a grand auction of the things belonging to the actress.
Recall that the celebrity who died at the end of March wore not just jewelry, but jewelry, which is a museum rarity. Moreover, all the treasures were donated to Taylor by her husbands.
Her first husband, hotel owner Conrad Hilton, gave Taylor a $ 50,000 ring. Michael Todd presented the star with a 30-carat diamond one and a half inches in diameter. In the thirty-first year of his life, another spouse, Richard Burton, presented Taylor with the 23.3-carat Krupp diamond, the Pregrin pearl donated to Mary Tudor in 1554, and a unique necklace where the Taj Mahal diamond reigns.
Each piece has its own story, which Taylor described in her 2002 memoir, My Affair with Jewels. “I never thought of them as trophies,” the actress emphasized. “I just keep them and love them. When I die, they will leave the auction and, I hope, the one who bought them will become a good owner for them."
Fans of girls' best friends will be able to see the Van Cleef & Arpels ruby diamond ring that Burton gave Taylor for Christmas. The actress spoke of this stone as "the most perfect of colored gemstones, the most exquisite ruby known to mankind."
The Taylor collection will be on display in eight cities around the world, including Geneva, London, Moscow and Paris. The money raised at the exhibitions will go to the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation. The jewelry will be shipped to New York in early December a few days before the auction, which will take place in the main hall of Christie's.
