Grace Kelly was a loyal customer for the House of Cartier which designed, among other things, her engagement ring in 1956. It was thus quite natural that the producers of the film “Grace de Monaco”, directed by Olivier Dahan and selected to open the 67th International Film Festival in Cannes on May 14th, asked Cartier to make faithful reproductions of five pieces of jewellery whose originals belong to the Prince’s collection, in its workshops, with the Palace’s official approval. In addition to these historic reconstitutions, spectators will be able to admire sublime contemporary examples of “haute joaillerie” worn by Nicole Kidman, who stars as Princess Grace, and Paz Vega, the Spanish actress in the role of Maria Callas. Cartier, 57 boulevard de la Croisette, Cannes (04 92 59 28 20).
