Hugh Grant Set To Make Big Bucks By Selling His Liz

Auction house Christie's big contemporary art sale in New York isn't until November 13 but the art world is already buzzing about the fact that one of Andy Warhol's iconic Liz Taylor portraits will be on the auction block. The turquoise Liz was created in 1963 and is part of Warhol's celebrity portraits that also include Marilyn Monroe and Jackie Kennedy. This work also has a celebrity owner. Actor Hugh Grant bought the painting six years ago for $3.5 million at Sotheby's in New York. He now could realize anywhere from $25 million to $35 million on his investment.

Cocktail Pendant with Pearls

by Anne Metz (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Jewelry

Picking out jewelry is not a simple process. If you select something too formal or too gaudy, you might not appreciate what it will say about your personality. For women with complicated personalities, buying a bangle can actually take on existential proportions. If you are a woman who doesn't easily fit into the category of "classic" or "bohemian," you should check out T. Cyia jewelry. One half traditional and one half rock and roll, the T. Cyia collection is jewelry that won't make you second guess what your accessories might say about you. My favorite piece is the Cocktail Pendant. The bold rectangular pendant rests on a strand of pink pearls with silver and oxidized silver chains, which is tied together with a signature T. Cyia silver snake clasp. According the website, this piece was inspired by Liz Taylor's pinkie ring. Price: $299.
