Currently on exhibition at Le Grand Palais and not to be missed is the Bulgari Collection of the blingiest bling in the history of blizizzle. On display is the rich history of a master craftsman, the medium; Earth's most spectacular minerals. We are taken on a magic carpet ride back to the day when beautiful moviestars collected-not borrowed-300 carat diamond necklaces and ginormous emeralds the way Imelda Marcos collected shoes. On display (in a room dedicated to her alone) is the private collection of Elizabeth Taylor, the ultimate collector of bling. She had Eddie Fischer AND Richard Burton buying Bulgari emeralds for her, a matched set that includes a necklace (the centerpiece of which can be removed and worn as a brooch), a stunning pair of teardrop earrings (from Fischer), a bracelet, a ring, and for her wedding gift from Monsieur Burton; a diamond and emerald brooch. "Elizabeth only knows one word of Italian; "Bulgari" Burton liked to say. As for Madame Taylor, "It was the best part of filming Cleopatra in Rome; going to the Bulgari shop in the afternoon and swapping stories!" Who wouldn't feel like royalty adorned with jewelry like this; hundreds of brilliant gems reflecting like the light in the eyes of a woman well taken care of! You can visit the Bulgari exhibition until the 12th of January from Tuesday to Sunday at 10h-18h. Tariff 12 euro (5 euro for audio guide highly recommended!) Metro ligne 1 or 13 Champs Elysées Clemenceau
