Dame Elizabeth Taylor's Gems

Don’t miss out! Elizabeth Taylor's most valuable, Two hundred and sixty-nine jewel sale Thirty Million Dollar auction, Including her Emerald collection, She quoted that her ring Gave her the strangest feeling for beauty, She wore it most every day, With its sparks of red and white and blue and purple, It sort of hums with its own beatific life, Some were gifts from her husband Richard Burton If they were good enough for Liz, They’re good enough for me, I will be there first in the queue! Christies sale, New York! 24/10/2016 For contest Sponsor Carolyn Devonshire

And these gems are worth more than she paid for them simply because they were HERS. Wish I could afford just one small piece from her diamond collection. Ah well, being the frugal person I am I would spend the money on something more important than a shiny rock. Great job here my friend. Nicely Done. God Bless, JB Am feeling stronger every day my friend. Thanks for caring. ;)
