One of actress Elizabeth Taylor’s diamonds was owned by the ex-wife of former Nazi war criminal Alfred Krupp.
Actor Richard Burton, who married and divorced the actress twice, bought the Asschercut stone for 305,000 in 1968, and it’s now been revealed that the diamond was nicknamed the Krupp as it was once owned by Vera Krupp, the former wife of Nazi war criminal Alfred Krupp, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
In extracts from Kate Andersen Brower’s book ‘Elizabeth Taylor: The Grit and Glamour of an Icon’, which is being serialised in The Times newspaper, Ward Landrigan, the head of Sotheby’s jewellery department, says: “After an auction I always took my staff over to the bar next door from our New York office, and we were sitting there having a drink and it came on the radio that Elizabeth Taylor had bought the diamond. I said, ‘Oh man, that’s so cool!
