Strong, Beautiful Desired: Liz and her DiamondsReview created: 04/05/06

I am a jewelry afficianado. I bought this book because I have long heard lore of "the Liz Collection". Liz, has become just as well known in recent years for her tireless crusading for AIDS as in past years for her jewels, beaus, career and let's face it... her scandal. I expected and received photos of fabulous jewels...(beautiful photograpy, the collection is exquisite and you will gaze upon these images time and time again). What I did not expect was a candid and honest recount from Liz herself of the memories she has associated with these gems. And through these memories one begins to see what is truley important to Liz and why she was showered with jewel. They are badges proudly worn of the love and kindness she has given throughout her life and the tradgedy, joy and struggles she has faced. Wow... I just loved it and walked away with a new respect for our Elizabeth Taylor.

My Love Affair with Jewelry; Elizabeth TaylorReview created: 02/06/07

I'm a huge fan of Elizabeth Taylor so naturally I was interested in what makes her the jewelry queen she is. What I wasn't expecting was the heartwarming stories that accompany each exquisite piece of jewelry. I feel like I've gotten an in depth look into who Elizabeth really is and what has made her one of the most fascinating and prolific women of our time. Not just as an actress but as wife, mother, friend, and humanitarian of important causes that we're still fighting today. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is a Elizabeth Taylor fan. And even if you're not a fan, you will be by the first three pages into the book.

Intimate and gorgeousReview created: 10/29/09

I'm a grown woman and I secretly harbor the fantasy of being invited to Elizabeth Taylor's house to play dress-up with her jewelry collection. This book makes for a great substitute, glorious photos interspersed with Ms. Taylor telling the stories behind the pieces (Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor loved to play Ping-Pong. Who knew?). This is a coffee table book and one to be cherished.

For a jewelry loverReview created: 10/02/09
by:
I bought this as a great coffee table book, as it is rather large in size. I love jewelry and this book full of amazing pictures, from zoomed in details of pieces to pictures of Ms. Taylor actually wearing her baubles. The written portion of the book are Ms. Taylor reminiscing about the circumstances that she came by each piece. Some might find it trite or insulting (such as guilting a friend into buying her a piece), but to me, the stories do need to be placed in context in the time, which were different than today. It would also be excellent for a book collector, as only one edition of this book has been released. I still feel it was an amazing buy.

A-hard-to-find-new bookI had trouble finding my Liz book as it was published quite a while ago. In addition, people were sellng new copies acros the country which were $$$. I also didn't want a used copy so when I found what looked like what I wanted, I was excited. The product ended up exactly as promised-new, intact, perfect. Thanks!

Elizabeth Taylor by Elizabeth TaylorReview created: 06/01/09

) I purchased this book mainly because I saw it for sale on a Jewelry Channel, and thought it would be very interesting. I have always admired Elizabeth Taylor and wanted to see her jewelry. I have enjoyed the book very much and as soon as I am finished with it, I will sell it back on ebay so someone else can enjoy the book as much as I have. I am so grateful for ebay, anything can be purchased and at a fraction of the cost most of the time.

Beautiful Photos + Neat InformationReview created: 02/01/09
by:
) Beautiful pictures and information is very interesting--it has a lot of pictures though I did think it would have more photos and less text but if you have the time to read all the information, this book contains a lot of neat facts about the jewelry and her life

"Elizabeth Taylor" by Elizabeth TaylorReview created: 04/06/07
by:
) I bought this book for my Mother who is a huge fan of Elizabeth Taylor. This book shows the extensive jewelry collection of Ms. Taylor. All pieces are beautifully photographed. Looking through this book makes you feel as though you own all of these fabulous pieces, like having a jewelry museum at your fingertips. Very lovely! I've traveled around the world and seen many beautiful pieces but none to compare to this collection. Truly enjoyable to flip through. I highly recommend a trip through this wonderland of gems. Regards, Stephanie Branom

People at work were talking about this book and what all it had about the jewles that Ms. Taylor had received over the years. Had a hard time finding it in the books stores where I live but did fine it on e-bay. Love the book and enjoy reading it and finding out some things I didn't know about Ms. Taylor over the years.
