"    Photo: Courtesy of Bulgari   &amp;quot;The only Italian word Elizabeth knows is Bulgari,&amp;quot; actor Richard Burton famously said about Elizabeth Taylor, who he met on the set of Cleopatra in the 1962. As the story goes, he later gave her the emerald and platinum Bulgari engagement ring, pictured below, and they were married two years later. Burton returned to Bulgari soon after to purchase a diamond and emerald brooch, which became the only piece of jewelry Taylor wore as a nod to their love and the icon who brought them together, Cleopatra. This year, Cleopatra, which was directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz, will be restored for the Cannes Film Festival. Its May 21 premiere will be presented in partnership with Bulgari. While Taylor does not wear Bulgari in the film, we have a shot of her wearing a gorgeous Bulgari snake bracelet while on the set of the classic movie.    We also have a photo of the Cleopatra Mirror that Taylor&amp;#039;s first husband, Eddie Fisher, had made for her (rumored to be a gift for her 30th birthday). The sculpted 18-karat gold and turquoise object d-art features an Egyptian Revival motif of a bird with outstretched wings. Catch more Egyptian splendor later this month when Cleopatra makes its Blu-ray debut on May 28. Love what you see? Stay tuned for more coverage in an upcoming issue of ELLE featuring Bulgari&amp;#039;s special anniversary collection that will be showcased in Paris in July.
