&quot;Snake&quot; bracelet-watch in yellow gold and enamel, with rubies and diamonds is exhibited at the Bulgari: 130 Years of Masterpieces exhibition in the Houston Museum of Natural Science on April 29, 2014 in Houston. Richard Burton once quipped that Elizabeth Taylor knew only one Italian word: Bulgari. Taylor collected hundreds of fabulous jewels in her lifetime, but few as grand as the Bulgari pieces from Burton, including a platinum-and-diamond necklace centered around a 65-carat Burmese cabochon sapphire, a present for her 40th birthday. The necklace is one of 150 one-of-a-kind creations from the Bulgari Heritage collection on display beginning Friday at the Houston Museum of Natural Science in &quot;Bulgari: 130 Years of Masterpieces.&quot; A section of the exhibit is devoted to Taylor's famous pieces from the Italian jeweler.
