Richard Burton Always Knew Diamonds Were Liz's Best Friend - A Video Love Story






Scentual Desire's favorite fragrance Innovator of the week continues to feature Elizabeth Taylor. Elizabeth Taylor has graced us for years with her sense of style, beauty, and class. Her fragrances provide us with the same timeless, classic sophistication. Even the young can be sophisticated wearing her scents. After all, Diamonds really are a girl’s best friend, as is her diamonds fragrance collection.

 We try to use our blogs as a source of information, education, and entertainment. So, whenever we have a little bit of historical information, we love to share. Elizabeth Taylor had a love affair with diamonds.  Richard Burton's first big purchase for his wife was the 33.19 carat Asscher-cut Krupp Diamond, which is cut similarly to an emerald cut. Originally belonging to the Krupp estate, it was given to Elizabeth Taylor in 1968 and was mounted on a ring. Elizabeth wore the ring faithfully.
Richard Burton later acquired the Taj-Mahal – not the building – but a flat heart shaped diamond with inscribed Arabic, surrounded by rubies and diamonds and a yellow-gold necklace. Given for her 40th birthday, the Taj-Mahal was an exquisite gift of rare beauty.

 One of her best known pieces is the Taylor-Burton diamond, a nearly 70 carat pear shaped diamond taken from the premier mine in South Africa, a well known diamond mine for the highest ranking natural diamonds. Although not the biggest gem in the mine, the Taylor-Burton diamond was considered one of the best ranking diamonds of its time. It was later sold by Taylor to raise money for a hospital in Botswana.

Launched by the design house of Elizabeth Taylor in 1993, diamonds & emeralds perfume is classified as a sharp, flowery fragrance . This feminine scent possesses a blend of green floral top notes with white rose, water lily and gardenia, with lower notes of carnation and jasmine.
Diamonds & Emeralds perfume is a great day time fragrance and super versatile. Wear it while you are out and about, at the office, and to your children’s school functions. Each time I wear this fragrance, it’s classic notes are easily recognizable by Liz fans and complimented. When younger women smell this fabulous scent on me, they often want to know where to get a bottle. It’s a testament to how a timeless fragrance continues to re-invent itself.

Elizabeth Taylor did us equal justice with Diamonds & Rubies perfume.  This fabulous perfume, diamonds & rubies is classified as a refined, oriental, woody fragrance . This feminine scent possesses a blend of lilac, rose, peach, orchid, amber and vanilla. Opposite of Diamonds & Emeralds, It is recommended for evening wear.

One of my favorite things about the Elizabeth Taylor Diamonds perfume collection is the bottles. If you are like me, the bottle of my perfume is as equally important as the fragrance. The diamond collection’s bottles are sleek, simple, classy, and sophisticated.  The ring around the top part of the bottles gently displays faux diamonds adding the style and grace we all know as Liz Taylor.

We could go on and on about diamonds and Liz Taylor’s, love for them and we will in the days to come, But, we are super excited to give you a another peak video of the life of Liz and the man who adorned her with all the spectacular diamonds, Richard Burton. We hope you enjoy the love story as much as we did.
