Going for the Liz Taylor jewellery auction?

December 13, 2011 12:09

The great jewellery collections of the world might belong to maharajas or heads of state -- but Elizabeth Taylor gave them a run for their money. Some of Taylor's most iconic pieces will hit the block this week at a four-day sale at Christie's in New York between Dec 13 and Dec 16.

The auction will feature 269 pieces of jewels estimated in excess of $30 million, in addition to items from her closet, such as a glittering Versace jacket adorned with the face of Queen Elizabeth I, and copious amounts of her memorabilia, including a dog-eared copy of National Velvet.

You may not be able to buy it, but you certainly can drool.
