Recommended Reading: Elizabeth Taylor: My Love Affair with Jewelry


Few celebrities are as associated with jewelry as Elizabeth Taylor. Long an aficionado of beautiful gems, Miss Taylor has amassed a huge and famous collection of diamonds and magnificent pieces of jewelry. In a collection that includes masterpieces by Cartier, Bulgari and Harry Winston, Miss Taylor also boasts ownership of the 33.10 carat Krupp Diamond and the 69.42 carat Taylor-Burton diamond (seen right). Miss Taylor chronicles the most impressive pieces in her collection and the stories behind each in the colorful book, Elizabeth Taylor: My Love Affair with Jewelry. Truly, of all her affairs, this is the longest lasting. This book is worth a look if just for the photos alone.
