The Taylor–Burton Diamond is a diamond that became notable when it was purchased by the actors Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor in 1969. Burton had previously been the underbidder when the jewellers Cartier bought the diamond at auction for $1,050,000, setting a record price for a publicly sold jewel. Thousands of people in New York and Chicago queued to see the diamond after its 1969 sale, and it was subsequently worn by Taylor at Princess Grace of Monaco's fortieth birthday and at the 42nd Academy Awards. ==Description== The original rough diamond was found in 1966 in the Premier Mine in South Africa, weighing . It was cut by Harry Winston to in the shape of a pear. At the time of its 1969 sale the diamond was set in a platinum ring with two smaller diamonds on either side. After its purchase by Taylor and Burton, Taylor found the diamond too heavy to wear as a ring, and commissioned an $80,000 diamond necklace from which it could hang. The necklace was fitted to measure Taylor's neck so that the diamond would cover the remains of a tracheotomy scar she had received in 1961 after suffering from pneumonia. The Taylor Burton diamond was recut to by its present owner, Robert Mouawad, in 1980.
