Newly married Prince Rainier III could not do enough for his radiant bride Grace Kelly. Many gifts were coming, and unexpected by Grace. Rainier also understood the lifestyle that Grace would have to adjust to, a lifestyle she knew little about. The social scene of Monaco was truly its lifeblood, and what the outside world saw as galas, Prince Rainier saw as his normal job. Not only would Grace adjust to this world, but she would also make changes that the royal and social worlds of Europe would love and adhere to.  

The first ball for the new princess would be a major event for all of Europe—it was called the Red Cross Ball. Although touted as a charity event (and it did collect a considerable amount of money), it was really the top event of the European social season. Not only was it important to be seen there, but the dresses and jewels of the women had to outshine all others. The leading lady of the ball was to be the new princess, the American movie star. All were expecting her to fall on her face, as a North American supposedly wouldn’t know how to walk, act or dress properly for a European event. How wrong they were! After all, she was an actress; if she could get herself ready for any event a film production house could throw at her, a simple ball wouldn’t be a problem.

To help her be ready, the prince acquired a spectacular set of jewellery to set off the grown Grace had picked out for her first ball as a princess. The jewellery not only had to be special and different, but it was ordered and designed before her dress was complete. Rainier also knew Grace’s background and her fondness of wearing items over and over, something the socialites of Europe would never do. The jewellery was designed with all this in mind. The stones were picked in pastel flower colours, sitting on dewdrops done in European vermeil (gold layered over silver-coloured base metal). The pastel sapphires allowed Grace to wear this set with everyday outfits, and were certainly worthy of being the main attraction at the Red Cross Ball.
