A sampling of Elizabeth Taylor's jewels has been touring the world so people can see them up close before they're sold at auction in a few weeks. That was something Taylor wanted. An executive with Christie's auction house says "Christie's and Ms. Taylor have been planning this sale for a very long time."
He says she "she wanted to share the jewelry with everybody else."The jewels spent Thanksgiving weekend in Hong Kong. Now they'll be taken to New York where they'll be on display starting Saturday. The auction is December 13 through 16 and includes, not only her jewels, but art, designer clothing and other things Taylor owned. Some of the money will go to her AIDS foundation. Elizabeth Taylor died in March.
