After a two month world tour, the legendary jewels, clothes, and bags of Elizabeth Taylor are ready to be sold by the biggest house of auction: Christie’s.

“I wanted to share my collection with others so they could get a glimpse of the joys, the thrills, and the pure happiness that these beautiful creations have given me,” this is what the actress said, and this statment covers one of the Christie's wall now. The objects of the auction told about Taylor: the 33 carat diamond ring that Richard Burton bought for her in 1968, the ruby necklace, bracelet and earrings set given to her by Mike Todd, a ruby that she wore for her famous laps in the pool, and even the Cartier Taj Mahal diamond that will be sold for up to $300,000.

“No one knew she had this enormous collection of clothing, - said the curator of the auction, Meredith Etherington-Smith - “We knew she would run around in caftans—we didn’t know Ms. Taylor was buying serious fashion for over 50 years. And when I say serious, I mean couture.” Among the large collection you can buy Gianni Versace jackets ”some of the best things Versace ever did,” said Etherington-Smith, Taylor's collection of Louis Vuitton luggage, the velvet red dress by Valentino and her entire collection of Dior, including the last dress that John Galliano designed for her in 2010.

“This is about connoisseurship and collecting, not consumption,” Said the Christies staff “To learn that she was one of the most refined collectors of our time was an absolute revelation.”

The auction will begin on December 3rd, at Rockefeller Plaza in NY, for only $30 admission. In fact you can not only admire the beautiful and precious objects, but also enter the imagination of one of the largest and most popular stars of all time. Few lucky people will have them only for themselves.
