The late Elizabeth Taylor appears to have photobombed Kim Kardashian in the reality star’s latest Instagram selfie. We kid…
The black and white image shared late Monday by KK on social media, shows the ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ celeb in full makeup and sporting a white towel wrapped turban-style around her head.
In the background we see a near mirror- image of Liz Taylor with fingers dramatically splayed to show off the 33.19-carat Asscher-cut Krupp diamond presented to her by her actor husband Richard Burton during their first marriage in 1968.
By contrast, the 15-carat Lorraine Schwartz sparkler that Kanye West gave to his future bride features a flawless, emerald-cut diamond. While gorgeous — it is clearly dwarfed by the ‘Cleopatra’ star’s mega jewel.
Taylor’s ring sold at Christie’s auction house several months after her 2011 death for a reported $8.8 million. In fact, her massive 80 lot collection of bling shattered records by fetching nearly $116 million. A 16th Century pearl designed into a necklace by Cartier sold for $11.8 million, setting the world record for a pearl jewel. A pre-auction estimate indicated it would likely sell for between $2-3 million.
