Kicking off her “All’s Fair” press tour in Rome, Kardashian’s new stylist hooked her up with the “best birthday present ever,” letting the reality star play starlet for the day and play in Elizabeth Taylor’s jewelry box, Page Six writes.
Closing down the Bulgari store in Rome on Friday morning, Kardashian was presented with part of Elizabeth Taylor’s suite of emerald and diamond jewelry.
“Law really pulled some strings,” Kardashian joked — although, it was the truth. “You did it. I don’t’ know how you did this,” she said as she FaceTimed her stylist.

“This is unprecedented,” Roach explained. “Nobody’s ever done this before.”
Declaring, “I would sleep in this every night,” Kardashian was besotted with the moment.
Kardashian was given a pair of similar earrings to try on with the necklace, though they were not the exact ones owned by Taylor. She was not, though, presented with the original matching earrings, ring or bracelet on this particular occasion.
“This is not something we regularly do,” the Bulgari team explained as Kardashian stood wide-eyed in front of the tray of emeralds and diamonds.
The jewelry suite is one of the most well-known in recent history.
Taylor’s husband, Richard Burton, gifted the pendant to Taylor for her 30th birthday in 1962. The design features a 23.46-carat rectangular-cut Columbian emerald surrounded by pear-shaped diamonds.
