Elizabeth Taylor : my love affair with jewelry af Elizabeth Taylor
Great single source to see large full color photos of some of the most one of a kind and over the top jewels and jewelry in the world. Taylor's commentary is mostly limited to the mundane appreciation the jewelry received when she wore it but there are interesting but not gossipy accounts of the circumstances of purchase, etc. Only a passing reference to the hold-up.
I wish to have so much beautiful jewelries as Elizabeth but I'm absolutely in love with her baby diamond ring!!

Elizabeth may have changed husbands but the one enduring love in her life are her jewels. This book highlights her famous and fabulous collection with beautiful photos and interesting tidbits. The two men, Mike Todd and Richard Burton, who were the loves of her life, also gave her the most stunning jewelry. Besides the Krupp diamond ring that everyone knows about, Richard Burton loved giving her jewelry with historical provenances (known to be owned by famous historical figures). Like the La Peregrina Pearl which one of her dogs almost swallowed! And the cabochon diamond pendant from the Mughal rulers of India. The style of jewelry she prefers includes the diamonds, sapphires, emeralds, rubies glitteringly set which may not appeal to those who like less dazzling jewelry.… (mere)
