About the event
Join us at the RACV Hobart Hotel for a talk by Adrian Dickens of Circa AD Jewels, "Elizabeth Taylor's Greatest Love Affair—With Jewels". Hollywood legend Elizabeth Taylor has long been associated with jewels—Diamonds in particular, but the true extent of her staggering collection is not so well known. Said to be worth over US$150 million at the star’s death, her collection has only gained in stature. Many pieces have become as legendary as the star who wore them, and the man who bought most of them—Richard Burton.
Adrian Dickens has compiled a fascinating talk on the stories behind such jewels as the great Bulgari Sapphires, La Peregrina Pearl, the Mike Todd tiara, the Taj Mahal pendant and the unforgettable Taylor-Burton Diamond.
The talk will begin at 2:30pm. Coffee and tea will be served.
Adrian will be available after the talk if you would like to bring your jewels along!
