I have a customer looking to recreate the necklace Elizabeth Taylor wore in the movie "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof" but this movie is way before my time and I can't seem to find a good photo to work from.

Does anybody have any information?

Hello,
the best would be to get the video on amazon or else. So far I don't see more than this one att. It does not seem so specific
Why not to try a customize necklace from the famous burton-taylor one with a pear shaped pearl instead of a diamond??
Other possiblity, getting her book : Elizabeth Taylor: My Love Affair With Jewelry
Good luck

Dear Joy: I have a feeling that center pearl is actually drilled in the shape of a V to make it hang as a focal piece.

From what I can see, it looks like it is a 15" chain and the bale setting is very small that the chain goes through. The pearl appears to be an 8-8.5mm sized pearl. I found one other picture but it's kind of fuzzy.
