Talk:Taylor–Burton Diamond

The auction and subsequent purchase
The Channel 4 documentary Elizabeth Taylor: Auction of a Lifetime, has an interview with the man from Sotheby's who took the diamond to Switzerland to show Taylor and Burton prior to the auction. He tells how it was Taylor's lawyer who bid on her behalf, and that she rang him immediately afterwards to ask how much she had won it for. On being told that she had not, she said that she and Burton had to buy it. The article is incorrect to suggest Burton bought it for her. She was going to buy it for herself at the auction; and bought it with Burton from Cartier after the auction. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.7.177.210 (talk) 21:22, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
