Grace Kelly - Princess Grace of Monaco - Bains de Mer Tiara - Royal Jewels Documentary

https://thebeaumonde.org/the-bains-de-mer-tiara/ Although famous for its Grand Prix, generous income tax laws and being the second smallest state in the world, Monaco does not have a conventional collection of royal jewellery like other European dynasties. Therefore, when she married Prince Rainier in 1956, the American actress Grace Kelly had to start her jewellery collection from scratch. SBM commissioned the famous french jeweller Cartier to make the new princess a tiara featuring the Monegasque national colours of Red and White. What they produced was a wonderfully versatile piece featuring three central elements which could be detached and worn as brooches. These elements consisted of round brilliant and baguette cut diamonds with cabochon rubies. Set in gold and platinum the impressive rubies total 49 Carats. Grace returned the compliment by wearing the Tiara at her pre wedding gala and for her first official portrait as Her Serene Highness, Princess Grace of Monaco. #gracekelly #princessgrace #monaco #princessgraceofmonaco #montecarlo #monacoroyalfamily #royals #princesscaroline #royalty #stephaniedemonaco #princess #princerainier #carolinedemonaco #royalfamily #principautedemonaco #princealbertofmonaco #jewels #royaljewels #history #diamonds #tiara #queen #princess #europeanroyals⁠ #crown #crownjewels #jewellery #finejewellery #jewelry #finejewelry
