Bal de la rose 2019! Posted by Vincent on March 31, 2019, 6:09 am It seems princess Caroline is wearing tonight, for the first time in public, her mother’s Van Cleef &Arpels pearl and diamond parure. Necklace, bracelet and earrings were Prince Rainier’s wedding present to his bride : princess Grace.

If anyone is unacquainted with these iconic pearls, Van Cleef and Arpels has some superb photos on their site. https://www.vancleefarpels.com/us/en/la-maison/icons/Iconic-clients/hsh-princess-grace-of-monaco.html The history and more photos are in Vincent Meylan's book Van Cleef and Arples. Treasures and Legends pp 114-127
