Priced at $30 per person, the 10-day exhibition will open Dec. 3 at Christie's New York auction galleries. Tickets for the exhibition are only available online.

Following the exhibit, on Dec. 13, Christie's will sell the late Hollywood star's collection over four days.

"These are the top jewels that Elizabeth Taylor received from the great loves of her life, Mike Todd and Richard Burton," Christie's jewelry expert Rahul Kadakia said. "They're from moments in life that were very dear to her."

Part of the profits from exhibition admissions, events and publications will be donated to The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation.

Taylor, who died in March at age 79, expressed her wish to have her jewelry auctioned off after her death in her 2002 book, "My Love Affair with Jewelry."
