Wilding, who often visited his mother on the set of the 1963 historical epic, said, "My mother would have been thrilled about this spectacular celebration of Cleopatra's anniversary."

Jewellery purchased from the late actress' estate, including a hand-held gold and turquoise mirror featured in 'Cleopatra', will be on display, while Chastain will model the famous emerald and diamond necklace Burton gave Taylor during the three-year production in Rome, Italy. Italian jewellers at Bulgari are also debuting a piece inspired by Taylor, which will be auctioned off later this year to benefit the star's Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation.u00a0
