Taylor Swift has sparked huge interest after wearing jewellery once owned by Elizabeth Taylor — and fans are obsessed with the vintage Hollywood glamour look.
Here are 5 things to know about the famous jewellery suite.
1. The jewellery once belonged to Elizabeth Taylor
The Darlene De Sedle 22K gold and opal diamond suite was previously owned by Elizabeth Taylor and originally appeared in Christie’s famous 2011 jewellery auction.
2. The set includes earrings, a bracelet and ring
The matching suite includes chandelier-style earrings, a bracelet and a ring, all featuring sculptural gold work and soft opals.
3. Taylor Swift’s jewellery choice feels very intentional
According to jewellery expert Justin Daughters from Berganza, wearing jewellery with this level of history creates emotional and cultural associations linked to old Hollywood glamour.
4. Opal jewellery is becoming more fashionable
Opals are often linked with creativity and romance, giving the look a softer and more personal feel compared with traditional diamond jewellery.
5. Vintage celebrity jewellery is having a major moment
Collectors and fashion fans are increasingly drawn to jewellery with provenance and history rather than simply modern luxury pieces. The story behind the jewellery is now just as important as the design itself.
