M yt hica l love stories The marriage between Grace Kelly and Rainier III o Monaco was the culmination o the one o the most beautiul love stories that Cartier has been privileged to witness. As the guest o honour at the Cannes Festival in 1955, Grace Kelly had no idea that her lie was about to change. During a photo session in the Palace o Monaco, she met Rainier III and a great romance between the actress and the prince was about to begin. To celebrate their engagement, Prince Rainier III o Monaco oered his uture wie an emerald-cut diamond ring weighing 10.47 carats. To enhance its colour and clarity, Cartier created a platinum setting o e xemplary lightness and simplicity: the metal claws holding the wonderully lustrous diamond seemed to vanish,
on the bed and rubs the ring with a corner o the sheet to make it shine. It was truly an exceptional diamond. Between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, the chemistry o their frst meeting soon turned into unconditional love. Burton would move mountains or the actress and oered her the most beautiul stones and jewellery sets. In 1969, he bought one o the most beautiul diamonds in the world, the “Cartier-Burton-Taylor” weighing an astonishing 69.42 carats, and presented it to her aboard their yacht. Taylor wore this precious gem as both a ring and a pendant. “We are ours now” was the message that Edward VIII had engraved on the engagement ring he gave to Wallis Simpson in 1936. However, his position as head o the Church o England prevented him rom marrying this elegant American

The uture princess wore this sublime Cartier diamond, which was henceorth never to leave her fnger, or the engagement announcement in 1956. She even insisted on wearing it in the last flm she made, “High Society”, directed by Charles Walters. In the role o Tracy Samantha Lord, we watch as Kelly reclines

However, his position as head o the Church o England prevented him rom marrying this elegant American as she had already been divorced twice. Forced to choose between his duty and the woman he loved, the King made his decision and they began a long, romantic lie together as the Duke and Duchess o Windsor. Since the couple shared a passion or jewellery, Cartier became closely involved in this loving partnership.
