Elizabeth Taylor's Jewels

Elizabeth Taylor is one of my favorite style icons/actresses and her jewels are finally being auctioned off at Christie's next week. You can check out Hamish Bowles's top 10 pics for the auction at Vogue.com but I wanted to share two of my favorite pieces:

First, is this lovely art deco bracelet c.1925. It is exquisite and beautifully showcases Egyptian revival style. I love it when something old is made new again. I love everything art deco so I feel like no one should be surprised that I picked this piece.

Second, is the necklace that shows off the stunning and flawless Taylor-Burton diamond. This is by far one of the most beautiful stones and the setting couldn't be better. This piece is so modern in the way it is put together. Timeless is a word that comes to mind.  I often wish that people still dressed up and had places to which they could wear things like this.
