Luxury Love With Ben-Amun!

For a woman who married seven men and was loved by millions, you would think that Elizabeth Taylor would have had a difficult time identifying her greatest romance. It seems, however, that the most passionate affair of her lifetime was also the longest lasting, and in true celebrity style, Elizabeth Taylor herself revealed the details of said affair in a tell-all book entitled My Love Affair with Jewelry.


Yes, trumping both the tumult of her romance with Richard Burton, and her fascinating friendship with Michael Jackson, was Elizabeth Taylor’s constant, and abundant love for jewelry. The collection she acquired over the course of her lifetime was unsurprisingly extensive, and its value was estimated to be unsurprisingly high, but how high was only just determined by a roomful of bidders on Tuesday night.

Breaking the world record for the most money spent in the auction of a private jewelry collection, Elizabeth Taylor’s well loved jewels went for $11.8 million. If that sum makes you cast an underwhelmed glance over your own collection, turn that frown upside down and reignite the flame between you and your jewelry box!

You don’t have to marry a long line of rich men or rise to movie star status to curate a collection you can love as much as Elizabeth Taylor loved her own. Instead you can buy yourself those “Saturday night presents” on www.ben-amun.com ! Take some style tips from Elizabeth Taylor today and perhaps in fifty years bidders will break the bank scrambling to snatch up your jewels!
