Elizabeth Taylor's diamonds have dazzled on countless red carpets, but her goddaughter's latest photographs show them in a much more personal setting.
Victoria Brynner has opened her family album to share pictures of her children wearing the Hollywood legend's extraordinary jewelry, from an elaborate tiara to a spectacular emerald and diamond necklace.
Taken in 2011, the photographs offer a close-up look at pieces that became almost as famous as the actress herself. Among them is the Bulgari necklace Kim Kardashian recently tried on during her visit to Rome.
Victoria, the daughter of Oscar-winning actor Yul Brynner and Elizabeth's close friend Doris Brynner, explained the memories behind the images in her Instagram caption.
"These were amazing pieces, and I was lucky enough in 2011 to photograph my children wearing them," she wrote.
The photographs were taken the year Elizabeth died at 79, giving the collection an additional family significance. Rings, diamonds and emeralds fill the carousel, with one particularly large stone drawing comparisons to the actress's famous Krupp diamond.
