Perfect Reproductions of the World's Most Beautiful Princess's Jewelry
Grace Kelly, who met Prince Rainier III of Monaco at the Cannes Film Festival in 1955 where she was invited as a guest, made a glamorous transition from actress to princess. In 1956, her engagement ring was a 10.47-carat Cartier emerald-cut diamond ring that sparkled on her finger. For her wedding, she received a diamond and ruby tiara and a three-strand diamond necklace, among other gifts. Cartier jewelry is inseparable from the story of Grace Kelly. The brand's cooperation was naturally indispensable for the filming of this biographical film about her life.
Cartier's legendary boutique in Paris serves as a significant setting in the film. Furthermore, Cartier jewelry shines in a pivotal scene where Nicole Kidman, playing Grace Kelly, speaks to the press about her decision to step away from the glamorous world of cinema and dedicate her life to her family and the people of Monaco. The five pieces of jewelry owned by Grace Kelly used in this film were meticulously reproduced in Cartier's ateliers with the consent of the Principality of Monaco. The original pieces are still treasured by the Princely House of Monaco today.
Cartier also lent manyhigh jewelrypieces. Among them is a necklace with dazzling emeralds worn by Spanish actress Paz Vega, who plays Maria Callas in the film. Additionally, Cartier watches and accessories are worn by Tim Roth, who plays Prince Rainier III, and Robert Lindsay, who portrays Aristotle Onassis.
The film, whose trailer was unveiled at the Cannes Film Festival, which began on May 15th, is set to capture attention with Nicole Kidman adorned in historically inspired, glittering jewelry.
