Actress Jessica Chastain was so nervous about wearing Elizabeth Taylor's sapphire-and-diamond necklace at the Cannes Film Festival's 'Cleopatra' screening that she did not even ask its value.

The 36-year-old 'Zero Dark Thirty' star said after wearing the legendary actresses' necklace she felt close to her, reported People magazine.

"I didn't want to know how much it was worth. It was so thrilling to wear it, but I was overwhelmed too. It was a little scary.

"I was the first person to wear it since Elizabeth. I felt as if I was able to spend the day with her today by wearing the necklace," she said.
