Elizabeth Taylor’s Diamond Collection

Taylor’s famous Krupp diamond ring, a 33.19-carat bauble that was especially dear to heart because (like so much of her jewelry) it was a gift from Richard Burton, was estimated at $2.5-$3.5 million, but blew way past that, finally being knocked down for over $8.8 million.
