Elizabeth Taylor has been one of the most passionate and dedicated lovers of jewelry. Her jewelry collection – that included more than 250 pieces – could boldly give odds to the royal treasures. Elizabeth adored large and luxurious jewels with diamonds and other precious stones so knew how to wear them with dignity. So, itsn’t surprising that Elizabeth Taylor was chosen for the role of Queen Cleopatra of Joseph Mankiewicz’s film, also a passionate admirer of luxury jewels.
