The Ultimate Valentine's Day Present

Elizabeth Taylor must have looked forward to holidays each year. In 1969, she received this "La Pérégrina" necklace by Cartier from Burton, which features symmetrically perfect pearls. It sold for $11,842,500!

It must have been amazing to be Elizabeth Taylor and receive those jewels. They're all stunning. They ruby set in the first photo is gorgeous (as is the photo of her husband and her. She looked she genuinely happy.) The ruby ring and sapphire necklace are also pretty as as well. It's hard to pick one piece from her vast jewels as a favorite as she had so many beautiful pieces!

Completely amazing. I especially the Ping-Pong diamond and her outfit in that shot.
