Christie's, Dame Elizabeth Taylor and House of Taylor Jewelry Inc announced that Christie's in New York, Hong Kong and Geneva would offer selected jewels designed by the legendary icon at auction. The specially designed jewels will be provided to Christie's exclusively through House of Taylor Jewelry.
We are honored to partner in this important endeavor with one of the most adored artists, humanitarians and now certainly designers of our time, said Stephen Lash, Chairman, Christie's.
This marks a fantastic continuation of our many years of working with this legend, having teamed with her in historic fund-raising auctions in support of her work through amfAR and the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation to promote the research and treatment of HIV/AIDS, as well her own purchases of great jewelry pieces.
Her knowledge of jewels stems in large part from her pre-eminence and aesthetic taste as perhaps the world's greatest private collector of great jewelry.
The first exclusive and unique creations to be sold directly by Christie's will be featured in their October 11th Magnificent Jewels auction in New York.
Dame Elizabeth conveyed her personal excitement about creating special pieces for the world's leading auction house, stating, "Until the launch of House of Taylor Jewelry, many people didn't know how much I love to design pieces that I wear and for people that I love. I've never thought of the jewels in my collection as trophies.
