Bravo, Jessica Chastain! The actress celebrated the 50th anniversary of Cleopatra by watching the classic at a screening during the Cannes Film Festival yesterday, and after the showing, she teamed up with Bulgari to host a private reception where the Bulgari jewels Elizabeth Taylor wore in the film went on display. With that great honor comes great perks, including being able to wear one of the late legend’s pieces. She picked this Bulgari sapphire and diamond masterpiece. The stunning jewel is over 29 inches long. The sugarloaf cabochon at the center of the design is 52.72 carats. It was one of several stunning jewels Richard Burton gave Elizabeth Taylor for her 40th birthday. “I introduced her to beer and she introduced me to Bulgari,” Burton joked years later of his Bulgari shopping trips with Taylor. Gorgeous, don’t you think?

Elizabeth Taylor’s Bulgari Jewelry Goes on Display at the Cannes Film Festival

May 22, 2013 @ 1:15 pm

In celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Cleopatra, Bulgari co-hosted a screening of the film at the Cannes Film Festival and a reception where several of Elizabeth Taylor’s Bulgari jewels were on display. And five decades later, absolutely everything about Cleopatra is still epic. When it debuted in 1963, the full-theatrical length was just over four hours, having filmed for three years in Rome at a ballooned budget of $42 million—equivalent to about $300 million today. Without question the most dramatic aspect of the film’s history is that it was the setting where Elizabeth Taylor fell for her leading man Richard Burton. When news of the affair broke, photos of the couple kissing were plastered all over the press. Privately, the couple celebrated their love with extravagant tokens of affection at the celebrated Italian jeweler Bulgari. Years later, Burton recalled these shopping excursions with humor: “I introduced her to beer and she introduced me to Bulgari.” Click through to see a few of our favorite pieces.

Launch You’ll Love: Nikki Reed’s Jewelry for 7 For All Mankind

May 8, 2013 @ 9:15 am

What’s former Twilight star Nikki Reed been up to since the saga wrapped? Besides making music with her husband, American Idol alum Paul McDonald, the actress has been pursuing her other passion, jewelry design. Reed made her first foray into jewelry last fall with the debut of Mattlin Era, and now she has teamed up 7 for All Mankind to create a five-piece accessory collection inspired by the theme of the brand’s spring line, love and connectivity. “It feels very natural,” Reed told InStyle.com. “Love is very much on my mind. All the music that [Paul and I] are writing is very love inspired so it’s easy to connect with that kind of theme.” The collaboration also explores Reed’s evolving style. “Since I started doing music, I’ve been wearing a lot more denim,” Reed continued. “I wanted to think what pieces would go with my new looks because I’ve been exploring a whole different side of myself.” The result is a cohesive collection of funky mixed-metal pieces, including bangles and statement necklaces. Visit 7forallmankind.com to shop the jewelry, including the Story Telling Bangle Set ($84), Starry Night Earrings ($48), and Starry Night Necklace ($78).

The Great Gatsby Took Over the Tiffany & Co. Windows! See the Photos Here

Grab your Champagne flutes, Tiffany & Co. is toasting to The Great Gatsby! The movie’s costume designer Catherine Martin collaborated with Tiffany & Co. to create and source jewelry for the film, and in celebration of its soon-to-be release (Gatsby is out May 10), the jewelry company put the film’s pieces on display in roaring ’20s-inspired windows, which were unveiled at its Fifth Avenue flagship store in New York this week. (Martin and director Baz Luhrmann—a husband and wife pair—were on hand to reveal the windows along with the man in charge of designing them, Richard Moore, Vice President of Visual Creative Merchandising for Tiffany). “The pieces were just a joy to work on,” said Martin, who meticulously researched the time period to create the designs, which ranged from a diamond and pearl headband to a daisy brooch. The true joy, however, was the fact that the book’s author F. Scott Fitzgerald was a regular Tiffany customer, so the collaboration is not only beautiful, but also historically significant. “For us, it’s doubly, triple-y, quadruple-y more special because the author of the book that Baz has so lovingly put on the screen actually made purchases from here,” said Martin.
