Joanna Lumley almost<\/em> gets her hands on a $12 million necklace in the latest episode of\u00a0Joanna Lumley\u2019s Great Cities of the World \u2013 as\u00a0RadioTimes.com<\/a> can exclusively reveal in a brand new clip.<\/p>\n In the short teaser from the ITV travel series, Lumley views a collection of priceless heritage Bulgari jewels in Rome, including a hefty emerald and diamond necklace that once belonged to Dame Elizabeth Taylor, purchased by her then-husband Richard Burton.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m almost fainting as I walk towards it,\u201d Lumley says during the clip, as it\u2019s revealed that it\u2019s the same necklace that Taylor wore when she met Queen Elizabeth II.<\/p>\n However, Lumley has less luck when she suggests to the curator than she might try on the famous necklace, previously bought back by Bulgari for a cool $12 million.<\/p>\n \u201cMay I be really vulgar? May I?\u201d Lumley says, pulling her hair back and gesturing to her neck\u00a0\u2013 to which the curator laughs in response.<\/p>
