Attended by a Cartier jeweller in Monte Carlo, 1958, Elizabeth Taylor examines a diamond necklace she had spotted while window-shopping with her third husband, Mike Todd. Seen in profile, her dark, coiffed hair is set off by an ornate earring. At $500,000, the necklace was beyond Todd’s budget, but its matching earrings were acquired as a consolation prize for the actress, who looks down intently at the piece while dressed in a light, high-necked top.
