Scan through the archive of Elizabeth Taylor photographs across fifty years and a pattern appears. The diamonds change. The gowns change. The hair changes decade by decade. But in an extraordinary number of photographs, regardless of the occasion and regardless of what else she is or is not wearing, she has earrings on. She described earrings as the one piece of jewelry she felt genuinely incomplete without. Not the diamonds, not the pearls, not the famous stones that went to auction for millions. The earrings. Something about the way they framed her face, the particular relationship between her bone structure and a piece of jewelry that sat close to her jaw, was a thing she had identified early and returned to with complete consistency for the rest of her life. That specificity, knowing exactly which thing is the right thing for you and committing to it, is a form of self-knowledge that looks small and turns out to be significant. Which piece of jewelry could you not live without? Tell us below and follow for more. 💜✨
