When did Dame Elizabeth begin her love affair with jewelry?
Dame Elizabeth has always loved jewelry, and the first piece she acquired was a gift for her beloved mother. She became a serious collector during her marriage to Mike Todd, who bought her many exquisite pieces, and she has continued collecting ever since, amassing one of the great collections, including such historic pieces as the Krupp diamond, La Peregrina Pearl, The Taylor Burton diamond, and more.
