Elizabeth Taylor had more bling than Cleopatra.

The late Hollywood legend’s diamonds, jewels, necklaces and tiaras are expected to fetch upwards of $30 million when Christie’s auctions the collection this December.

The 269 sparkling pieces collectively tell the story of the silver-screen gem’s life: Some were gifts from the loves of her life, while others she purchased or commissioned for herself from the finest jewelry designers.

“This is without a doubt the greatest private collection of jewelry ever assembled in one place,” said Christie’s President Marc Porter.
