About this product

Product Information

She has mesmerized movie audiences since her debut in National Velvet at the age of twelve, dazzled both men and women with her luminous beauty and iconic presence, displayed shrewd business acumen by creating a line of fragrances with unparalleled success, and her AIDS activism has been a call to arms for people around the world. She is Hollywood's greatest living star and a living legendElizabeth Taylor. One of her greatest passions is jewelry, and over the years she has amassed one of the world's foremost collections. By the time she was in her thirties, Elizabeth Taylor already owned an outstanding set of Burmese rubies and diamonds from Cartier, a fantastic emerald and diamond suite from Bulgari, and the 33.19-carat Krupp diamond, a gift from Richard Burton. That ring was later eclipsed by a subsequent gift from Burton, when he bought a staggering 69.42-carat pear-shaped diamond. Newly named the Taylor-Burton Diamond, it catapulted Elizabeth Taylor into that rarefied pantheon of great jewelry collectors. In this revealing book, Elizabeth Taylor offers a personal guided tour of her collection. She takes us into her confidence, sharing personal anecdotes, witty asides, and intimate reminiscences about her life, her loves, and her collection. Whether talking about the famous La Peregrina pearl, which was briefly abducted by a household pet, or chatting about a childhood gift to her mother, Elizabeth Taylor shows herself to be the most seductive of storytellers: direct, irreverent, and charming. Complementing the stories are 125 stunning new photographs of her most remarkable pieces, specially commissioned for this book, and more than 150 rarely seen images (many from Elizabeth Taylor's personal collection) of the star wearing her jewelry over the course of almost sixty years. We see her as a young ingenue of fifteen wearing what would be the first of many charm bracelets, and again, equally dazzling, as a mature woman, wearing the famous Duchess of Windsor diamond brooch, which she purchased to benefit AIDS research. Elizabeth Taylor: My Love Affair with Jewelry marks the first time this beautiful jewelry will be seen together as a collection. Lavishly produced and illustrated, the book has an introduction by the world-renowned authority on jewelry, François Curiel, of Christie's. It is for those who are enchanted by this most incandescent and enduring star, for those who cherish and dream of jewelry, and most importantly, for those who believe in the true meaning of love. This book is a fabulous display of unbelievable glamour, assembled over a lifetime, by one of the most extraordinary women in the world.

Zero regrets, simply beautiful
I was looking to purchase this book for a long time. The cost as expected could be considered high as the book is no longer in print. However it was well worth the money. I was blown away. The delivery of the product was earlier that estimated and it was exactly as it was described. Brand new, still in the wrap. I look forward to many more chilled evenings with the book. Elizabeth Taylor’s comments are just so humble and make the collection all that more endearing. Worth the money!!!

very good
you seldom find a book on this subject written in the first subject, when people do this it can be self promoting or boring but she did an incredible job of showing her love for jewelry and how important the various pieces were to her. by knowing the history of the incredible pieces she owned you see into the heart of the collector and connoseiur not just someone bragging about what they have. i highly recommend this book and have bought several more to give as gifts and have been very happy with how they were received. a great book on the subject and it has my highest recommendation.

The Perfect Title............
This book makes your mind go into that unknown world of the fantasy that we might share with one another, and that is of the unknown desire of just having and wanting nothing but the very best, and money is not a problem. Elizabeth Taylor is one of those individuals that has been blessed with such a world of jewels, and not to forget fame. Hey, more power to her. She blesses us with her sharing of some of her life in this book, which is awesome. I highly recommend that you should own this book for yourself. Share it with someone or just to give as a loving gift. This book is remarkable and the pictures in it are one of its kind. What a blessing to yourself or for someone else.
