Elizabeth Taylor's Legendary Engagement Rings: A Story of Love and Jewelry

Elizabeth Taylor's engagement rings are legendary, as the iconic actress was engaged 10 times and married eight times, including twice to Richard Burton. Her collection of jewelry was so extensive that she wrote a book about it titled "Elizabeth Taylor: My Love Affair with Jewelry." Taylor's first engagement ring was a white diamond from U.S. army pilot William Pawley Jr. Her first husband, Conrad "Nicky" Hilton Jr., gave her a 4-carat diamond ring. British actor Michael Wilding presented her with a sapphire ring. Producer Mike Todd gifted her a 29-carat diamond ring before their marriage in 1957. Eddie Fisher, her fourth husband, gave her a 50-diamond bracelet. Richard Burton, her fifth and sixth husband, gave her an emerald brooch and earrings instead of a ring. John Warner proposed with a red, white, and blue ring. Larry Fortensky, her final husband, exchanged vows with a simple pavé-encrusted diamond band. Taylor's engagement rings were as diverse as her relationships, each telling a unique story.
