Back in March we told you that Elizabeth Taylor’s jewels would be going to auction, and less than a year after her death (March 23, 2011) at the age of 79, her jewels, art, memorabilia and fashion will go to auction starting December 3.

The 10-day exhibition will be held at Christie’s where they will be holding it in the Rockefeller building. But if you live in Moscow, London, Los Angeles, Dubai, Geneva, Paris, or Hong Kong you will have a chance to see it during a 3 month exhibition that will take place starting in September.

A portion of the proceeds from the exhibition will go to her charity The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation.

Christie’s describes the sale of her jewellery as:  ”one of the most remarkable jewelry events in auction history.”

At the time of her death, her jewellery was estimated to be worth $100 million! All items will be sold at the New York auction save for the art which will be sold at the London auction in February.

Christine’s online auction will be running at the same time as the live auction. No word on what pieces of jewellery will be auctioned, but can you imagine the price of the insurance and security coverage for the exhibition?

It’s still sad to think that the world lost such an amazing person as Elizabeth Taylor. I can’t help but think she’s with Michael Jackson now.
