On 13–14 December 2011, Christie’s auction house in New York City, USA, hosted a sale entitled “The Collection of Elizabeth Taylor: The Legendary Jewels”, selling 269 items of jewellery formerly owned by the famous British-American actor for a total $137,235,575 (£88,090,700; €104,252,000). In addition to jewellery, the full sale, which ran from 3 to 17 December, also included items of fine art, fashion and movie memorabilia.

The jewellery sale also set several records for individual gems, including the most expensive pearl and the most expensive emerald sold at auction.

The 80 lots that were sold in the first evening sale (on 13 December) generated $115.9 million (£74.5 million; €88.1 million) of the total – a record for jewellery collection sold at auction in a single day.

All the proceeds of the sale went to the Elizabeth Taylor Foundation.
