This episode is brought to you by libish colored diamond specialists.

Did you know that only one stone in 10,000 discovered is a colored diamond?

When I bought that Elizabeth Taylor brooch, I took it out of the box.

I put it on the bedside table next to me.

All night long, I had sparkly dreams that I was the most beautiful woman in the world

desired by everyone walking on the Via Veneto.

And I woke up and I went, oh, my God, it has memories.

It soaked in all those happy memories of Elizabeth Taylor

being in Rome and being in love. I really believe that all those memories came sparkling out

of the brooch into my dreams. I'm Carol Horton, the voice of jewelry. Welcome to if jewels could talk.

I'm an author and broadcaster and the woman who initiated the role of

jewellery editor at magazines like Tatler and Vogue. This is a podcast for everyone, for people who do

like jewelry, for people who don't realize they like jewelry, and anyone intrigued by fascinating facts,

new ideas and forgotten histories.

So join me as I tell sparkly tales and meet all sorts of people,

delving into four centuries of jewelry culture,

and investigate what's happening now.

I'm thrilled to be here today with the American and Canadian actress, Jennifer Tilly,

who has appeared in a string of award-winning roles, including Bullets Over Broadway,

Bride of Chucky, fabulous Baker Boys, Stuart Little.

She's gained a cult following for her role as Tiffany in the Chucky franchise, voiced Bonnie Swanson on the sitcom Family Guy and appears in the real

housewives of Beverly Hills as a friend of the housewives. Jennifer, thank you so much for joining us
