In 1956, Grace Kelly, whose grandfather hailed from Co Mayo, and Prince Rainier also had two ceremonies.
As a wedding gift to his new wife, Prince Rainier presented Grace Kelly with a stunning Cartier necklace, which Town & Country magazine describes as “perhaps the most celebrated of the family’s Cartier treasures.”
“The three strand necklace, created from approximately 64 carats of round and emerald-cut diamonds set in platinum is in the festoon style.”
“It has been a celebrated part of many of Cartier’s jewelry exhibits around the world but still belongs to the royal family of Monaco, specifically to Prince Albert.”
