The Elizabeth Taylor engagement ring is a diamond industry<\/a> legend. At a whopping 33.9 carats, the breathtaking emerald-cut diamond<\/a> she sported is almost as famous as Elizabeth herself. Elizabeth was Hollywood royalty, so of course, her ring was just as grand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Story of Elizabeth Taylor’s Engagement Ring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton fell in love while filming the classic film Cleopatra<\/em> back in 1962. While the famous couple proceeded to marry and divorce twice, there’s one thing everyone remembers: that incredible 33.19-carat diamond formally known all the Krupp Diamond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Krupp Diamond was originally named after Vera Krupp, a socialite and actress. After Vera’s death, Sotheby’s sold the Krupp Diamond at auction. Richard Burton bought the stone after a bidding war. In 1968, he bought the stone for $307,000 \u2014 a measly cost compared to its price tag now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burton presented the diamond while in London aboard their yacht. Then, they set the diamond into a ring. This gorgeous ring became part of her persona and is now almost as much of an icon as the actress herself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This iconic diamond became the “Elizabeth Taylor Diamond” after Taylor’s death in 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burton didn’t actually propose with the Krupp Diamond Ring. They were 4 years into their marriage when he gifted her the diamond. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Richard Burton reportedly didn’t like the idea that she’d received engagement rings before. Instead of a diamond, Burton purchased a stunning emerald and diamond brooch from Italian jeweler Bulgari. The couple first spotted the dazzling piece while they were in Rome filming Cleopatra<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
