The Elizabeth Taylor jewelry auction set several significant records for this type of sales event. Noteworthy milestones were the 24 items that sold for over $1 million, with six pieces going for more than $5 million each.
A major highlights of the sale included a 15 minute rapid bidding battle for the Burton wedding bands. These bands were given to Ms. Taylor by Richard Burton on their two marriages, first in 1964 and again in1975. Pre-auction estimates were that the bands would bring fetch $6,000–8,000. The final price was $1,022,500. Not too shabby!!!!
