It's your chance to own jewelry once worn by folks such as Elizabeth Taylor, John Wayne and guitar legend Les Paul. 

The 15th annual John Michael Matthews Estate Jewelry Show and Sale.  The one day event is going on Thursday in Vero Beach. 

It's an opportunity for Treasure Coast residents to get up close and personal to nearly a dozen pieces, including a custom-engraved watch that was given to a movie producer by Barbra Streisand. 

Rock fans: Bon Jovi lead guitarist Richie Sambora gave a pocket watch to Les Paul, inscribing it with the words "Les, I'll never Forget our Friendship Love, Richie."  That piece is up for grabs.

There's also a necklace that belonged to Cher and several pieces worn by Elizabeth Taylor. 

Check out a 14 carat gold hot dog from the estate of Robert Goulet. 

And, according to a post on the John Michael Matthews facebook page, you'll also be able to view and purchase a pocket watch that was given to Tony Curtis by his "Some Like it Hot" co-star Jack Lemmon.
