A chance to get some one-of-a-kind items here:

Actress Elizabeth Taylor’s renowned collection of jewelry, art, fashion and memorabilia will be sold in a series of auctions starting in December, Christie’s says.

Taylor died of congestive heart failure in Los Angeles on March 23 at age 79.

Christie’s said it will devote all its Rockefeller Center headquarters gallery in New York to an unprecedented 10-day exhibition of her collection beginning Dec. 3.

Before the sale, there’ll be a three-month worldwide tour of Taylor’s jewelry, fashion, accessories, decorative arts and memorabilia, beginning in September, with stops in Moscow, London, Los Angeles, Geneva, Paris, Hong Kong and Dubai, the United Arab Emirates.

A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation.

Christie’s did not release details on specific items or estimates of what they would fetch, but Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis’s estate fetched $35 million at Sotheby’s in 1993, while a nine-day sale of property from the Duke and Duchess of Windsor brought in nearly $25 million.

The Taylor sales are individually devoted to jewelry, haute couture, fashion and accessories, decorative arts and memorabilia from her Bel Air home, and Impressionist and modern art.

Christie’s called the sale “one of the most remarkable jewelry events in auction history.” A gala evening sale Dec. 13 will be followed by two more sessions the day after.

Taylor’s jewelry was reportedly worth $100 million at her death. Her estate was valued at $500 million to $1 billion.
