Silver gelatin print by Planet News Ltd., titled "'Rock' of romance", 20 February 1952. Printed caption on verso reads: "New York: Screen beauty Elizabeth Taylor wore this engagement ring which she bought herself - 'because Mike didn't have the dollars to get me one' - when she left by air for London to marry British actor Michael Wilding. The huge sapphire is circled with two rows of diamonds, sparkles on her 'third-finger-left-hand'. Elizabeth, who flew in to London airport hours after schedule as her plane was delayed, expects to wed Wilding, who is 41, on Friday. Elizabeth is 20 on February 27th".
