An exclusive limited edition photograph of Elizabeth Taylor wearing a Bulgari earring by British photographer David Steen.
Elizabeth Taylor’s jewellery collection was renowned as one of the greatest ever assembled.
The film star was a passionate admirer of Bulgari jewels and owned many unique pieces that are representative of the brand’s creativity.
Indeed, the bold and sumptuous style of Bulgari perfectly matched her particular tastes and when the actress came to Rome to film Cleopatra, the affinity with the brand became a lifelong relationship.
Recalling the memorable moments spent at the Condotti store, Taylor stated that “undeniably one of the biggest advantages to filming Cleopatra in Rome was Bulgari’s shop”.
This predilection was encouraged by her love affair with Richard Burton, which started on a film set and sealed with magnificent Bulgari jewels.
Burton quickly learned about her fascination for jewels and took every opportunity to gift her a fabulous new piece.
In 2011, Christie’s held a sale of Taylor’s private collection which set records as the most valuable sale of jewellery in auction history.
The Maison re-acquired nine pieces, as of today, which became part of the Bulgari Heritage Collection. This best represents Taylor’s love for the brand and her unerring collector’s eye.
