Grace Kelly’s engagement ring is one of the most iconic pieces of jewellery in history- considered a symbol of timeless elegance much like Kelly herself. The Oscar-winning actress known for roles in Rear Window<\/em>, To Catch a Thief<\/em>, and The Country Girl<\/em>, became the symbol of Hollywood glamour. Not only this but Kelly went from Hollywood royal to true royalty. This is because of her marriage to Prince Rainier III of Monaco. Her engagement ring is as legendary as her on screen presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier first met during the Cannes Film Festival in the spring of 1955. Kelly was in France promoting To Catch a Thief<\/em>. This is when Prince Rainier sneakily arranged a photoshoot at his palace to meet her. The two hit it off immediately, staying in touch through letters over the following months. Their romantic correspondence led to Rainier visiting Kelly’s hometown of Philadelphia that Christmas, where he proposed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When the newly engaged couple held a press conference at Kelly’s family home, she debuted an elegant engagement ring. However, this wasn’t the famous diamond ring we associate with her today. The first engagement ring Rainier gave Kelly was an eternity band<\/a> from Cartier<\/a>, featuring rubies<\/a> and diamonds<\/a>. The design, made from family heirlooms, was a tribute to Monaco\u2019s national flag, with the red and white stones representing its colours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
