What do they have in common Grace Kelly, Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor? Decades on, their elegant and timeless style continues to captivate women around the world. 4 unforgettable icons, each one characterized by jewels that have made history.

How to forget Grace Kelly classic and understated style? She quit acting to become Princess of Monaco and this giving her access to the most incredible jewellery collection, but rather than drenching herself in diamonds, she was a master of minimalism. “Diamonds are a girl’s best friends” Marilyn Monroe sang in a famous movie; shiny necklaces and bracelets helped her to build the myth. With a wardrobe full of ballet flats, Audrey's style was effortless and elevated by carefully-chosen jewels. She knew that sometimes a pair of diamond earrings is all you need. Elizabeth Taylor’s passion for jewels is documented; she amassed an exquisite collection worth £20million, even if her favourite gems were Emeralds and sapphires.
