Pearl Diamond Tiara of the Grimaldi Family

This tiara of the Grimaldi family is one of two historic pieces of jewellery owned by them and still with the family. It was a highlight of the exhibition at Monaco in 2007, which celebrated the life of Princess Grace. However this diadem was never worn publicly by Princess Grace. The palace has stated that the tiara, formerly the property of Princess Charlotte of Monaco, was made by Cartier Paris. There are no pictures of Princess Charlotte wearing this delicate jewel, set in platinum and white gold. However, a very similar tiara exists in the Thurn & Taxis jewel vault, set with, a very similar tiara exists in the Thurn & Taxis jewel vault, set with emeralds instead of pearls and made by Hancocks London >>

Princess Caroline wore the tiara with hanging pear-shaped pearls several times at events and gatherings before her marriage. Since that time, she has mostly worn tiaras the property of the Hannover family, such as the Honeysuckle - Tiara >> or the tiara from Princess Victoria-Luise >>

Although the Cartier pearl and diamond tiara was not worn publicly by Princess Grace, she certainly owned three or four tiaras:
*The Bain de Mer ruby tiara
*The ruby cabochon tiara
*The small diamond tiara
*The necklace diamond tiara of VanCleef & Arpels (not proven)
(and she wore some on loan like that worn at the centenary gala or the tiara with turquoise)

Princess Caroline is the only one who has worn all of the historic pieces. The diamond fringe tiara was worn by her as a necklace (as above) at the evening gala for her brother's enthronement in 2005 and the diamond and pearl tiara was in the exhibition in 2007. Therefore, two historic pieces are still with the Grimaldi family.
