A smiling Elizabeth Taylor tries on a magnificent diamond necklace and matching earrings from Cartier in Monte Carlo, 1958. The actress, seated in a patterned armchair, had spotted the set while window-shopping with her third husband, Mike Todd. At $500,000, the necklace was beyond Todd’s budget, but the elaborate earrings—worn here over her ribbed turtleneck sweater—became her consolation prize.
