(EMAILWIRE.COM, December 07, 2011 ) Beverly HIlls, CA -- On December 15, Christie’s New York will be holding an exclusive sale of the jewelry of Elizabeth Taylor. The auction will feature three pieces by Sandra Muller: a set of necklace and bracelet, and a stand-alone bracelet, all acquired by Elizabeth Taylor in 2001.

Sandra Muller: “I would often go to visit Elizabeth Taylor at her house, and she would say that her heart would jump a certain way when she saw a jewel that was just right for her. And these did it! The style is very Capri chic 1970’s. My inspiration was to create something fun, colorful, charming, and full of life, using fine semi-precious gem beads and combining colors that would have suited an Emilio Pucci or Thea Porter colorful gown — very much Elizabeth’s style. I first met Elizabeth Taylor at the Palace Hotel in Gstaad when I was 9 years old. She was having lunch with the wife and daughter of Yul Brynner, and I joined them. I was mesmerized by her headdress, with an emerald dangling on her forehead. She had an incredibly eclectic taste for jewelry. This encounter awakened in me an aspiration to become a jeweler. Little did I know that one day she would be wearing my creations.”

The set of necklace and bracelet are 18 karat gold with smoky quartz, citrines, corals, fresh water pearls, tiger's eye, crystal de roche and chrysophrase. The stand-alone bracelet is 18 karat gold with amethyst, citrines, aquamarines, rubelite, fresh water pearls and ametrines.

For Diane Von Fürstenberg, "Sandra Muller is a true original artist as well as a real craftsman. Her jewels are both exotic and refined and like nothing else available...I own several pieces and love them." Sandra’s pieces have graced the pages of many fashion and lifestyle magazines and were exhibited at The Forbes Galleries in NYC in 2008. She is a member of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) and won the Spectrum design award in 2004.

Sandra Müller grew up in Paris and Geneva. At eighteen, she moved to California to study gemology and jewelry manufacturing at the Gemological Institute of America. Since then, she has been creating one-of-a kind jewels and limited editions for a clientele which includes many celebrities.
