Victoria Brynner Shares Rare Look at Elizabeth Taylor’s Personal Jewelry Collection

Victoria Brynner, the goddaughter of the late Hollywood icon Elizabeth Taylor, recently shared previously unseen photographs of the actress’ legendary jewelry collection on social media. The images, posted to Instagram on October 29, feature Brynner’s children wearing pieces from the archive, including a tiara and the notable emerald and diamond Bulgari necklace.

Insights into the Archives

• Family Archives: The photos were captured by Brynner in 2011, the year Taylor passed away at the age of 79. The collection includes items such as the famous 33.19-carat Krupp diamond.
• Recent Public Interest: These archives have returned to the spotlight following Kim Kardashian's recent appearances during the *All’s Fair* press tour. Kardashian, who has previously discussed viewing the collection in Taylor’s home, was seen wearing the iconic Bulgari necklace.
• Historical Context: Taylor was renowned for her extensive collection, which featured significant pieces gifted by husbands like Mike Todd and Richard Burton. Notably, proceeds from the sale of the Taylor-Burton diamond were reportedly used to fund a hospital in Botswana.

Brynner noted that it was surreal to see objects she had known intimately as a child being discussed in modern news cycles. For those interested in the history of these pieces, details can be found via the provenance of Taylor's major auctions and through archival fashion reporting.
