Christie's Auction House has announced that beginning December 13, it will be auctioning off some of Elizabeth Taylor's most famous jewelry and personal goods. I came across a small preview, via
People, of some of the items that will be auctioned off, but its not enough to calm me down - I'm just so excited! Known for her acting abilities and her glamourous lifestyle, Taylor went through eight husbands and worked on several social causes such as
HIV/AIDS and various Jewish Causes.

| Taylor wearing the Mike Todd Tiara given to her by her third husband Mike Todd. |
 |
| La Peregrina, commissioned by Taylor to Cartier, was made famous by the pear-shaped pearl that was purchased at auction. Rumor has it that it was once part of Spain's crown jewels. |
 |
| Some of many LV luggage sets. Taylor used to attach lilac tags that read, "Mine," when she traveled. |
 |
| The Reine Marguerite necklace was worn to the 1993 Academy Awards where she won the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. |
 |
| This 33.19 carat diamond ring, named the Krupp Diamond, was given to Taylor by Burton, her fifth and sixth husband (she married him twice). |
