Who inherited Elizabeth Taylor's jewelry?

Some of Elizabeth's jewels went to family and friends who were unpublicized with the exception of Debbie Reynolds who received an undescribed ruby piece. The rest were sold at auction. Christie's reported that the auction of the major jewels (those not included with her Haute Couture) realized a staggering total of $137,235,575.00 US Dollars making it the most valuable private collection of jewelry ever put up for auction. The top lot of the sale was the legendary 16th century La Peregrina Pearl which realized a double record setting $11,842,500.00 US Dollars. The world records set were for the highest price for an historic pearl and for a pearl jewel. Fascinating since Richard Burton only paid $37,000 US Dollars for it in 1967. The total value of Dame Elizabeth's jewels could exceed $150,000,000.00 US Dollars when the ones in the online auction and those included in the Haute Couture auctions are included.


Who designed Princess Diana's Dress?

AnswerPrincess Diana had many designers that she worked with during her marriage to the Prince of Wales. She used David and Elizabeth Emanuel to design her wedding dress, they also designed the very famous black evening dress she wore for her first official evening engagement. Bellville Sassoon, Victor Edelstein, Jasper Conran, Bruce Oldfield. Christina Stambolian designed the black dress that she wore the night that Prince Charles admitted that he had committed adultry.Later on, she favoured Catherine Walker. The majority of dresses she sold at the Christies auction in 1997 were made up of Catherine Walker's designs. And it is even said that Diana is buried in a Catherine Walker creation.Diana also wore Versace, and Jacques Azagury designs.


What did Liz taylors jewels sell for?

$144,775,775.00 US Dame Elizabeth's jewelry collection was sold by Christie's in New York during the month of December 2011. The Collection of Elizabeth Taylor consisted of numerous auctions devoted to her collections of jewelry, art, haute couture, decorative arts, costumes and memorabilia. The bulk of Dame Elizabeth's jewelry collection was sold in four auctions. The first auction was titled, The Legendary Jewels consisting of 80 lots of Miss Taylor's most iconic pieces and was held during the evening of December 13, 2011. The Legendary Jewels sold for a total of $115,932,000 US, setting numerous records. The highest price was paid for $11,842,500 for the La Peregrina Pearl (discovered in the Gulf of Panama, early 1500's). The Elizabeth Taylor Diamond (formerly known as The Krupp) sold for $8,815,500. The Taj Mahal Diamond (circa 1627) sold for $8,815,500 as well. The second and third jewelry auctions consisting of 188 pieces from Dame Elizabeth's collection sold for a combined total of $21,303,575. The highest price paid was $1,482,500 for an antique natural pearl and diamond necklace (circa 1860) that was a gift from Richard Burton in 1968. The fourth auction was Christie's first ever online auction consisting of 617 lots jewelry out of 965 lots offered. The jewelry sold for $7,540,200. This figure does not include the value of pieces she bequeathed to people in her will. So the total value of Dame Elizabeth's jewelry collection as it existed at the time of her death will never be known. I would conservatively add another $5,000,000 to have a ballpark figure. A conservative estimate of the value of her jewelry was "leaked" in 2002 when her book, My Love Affair with Jewelry, came out. The range was $80 to 120 million US. The figure from 1994 (released in 1996) during her divorce from Larry Fortensky included her art and was listed as $102.77 million, which was probably a low figure to decrease Fortensky's chances of getting more money if he succeeded in breaking their prenuptial agreement (he did not succeed btw).
