Cursed precious stones
Sometimes precious stones hold mystery, especially famous. However, some are infamous for the misfortune they’re believed to attract to their owners. Among them – La Peregrina pearl, which Elizabeth Taylor proudly showed off during her cameo of the 1969 film “Anne of a Thousand Days.” The gem is believed to be cursed (The Curse of Divorce).
In December 2011 the pearl La Peregrina was sold as part of Elizabeth Taylor’s collection for a record price of more than $11 million at Christie’s in New York.
