Are you with me old cut lovers? Breathtaking. This pair of antique diamond earrings will be auctioned at Christie’s Evening Sale.
Elizabeth Taylor wore the Cartier diamond earrings (of her own design) to her 8th and final wedding at Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch in 1991. The actress married construction worker Larry Fortensky and divorced five years later.
Elizabeth Taylor became a grandmother at the age of 39, so naturally, she needed a Granny necklace to mark the occasion. Richard Burton gave her the necklace and said, “Wow! You are so beautiful; nobody is going to believe you’re a grandmother.‟ The Van Cleef & Arpels diamond necklace is estimated to sell for $120,00-180,000 at Christie’s Sale.
This Bulgari yellow diamond ring is expected to fetch between $120,000-180,000 at auction.
