On Saturday, the Grimaldis gathered in Monaco for the annual Bal de la Rose, the annual gala that benefits the Princess Grace Foundation.

The gala’s decor and theme have often been designed by the late Karl Lagerfeld, who was a close friend of Princess Caroline of Monaco. This year’s theme, “Riviera,” was a collaboration between the two. (See more images of Karl and Caroline together at past Rose Balls over here!)

Longtime readers of The Court Jeweller will surely immediately recognize Princess Caroline’s jewels for this year’s ball.

They’re her mother’s pearls — more specifically, the diamond and pearl suite made by Van Cleef and Arpels that Prince Rainier gave Princess Grace as a wedding present. The set includes a necklace, bracelet, earrings, and a ring. (Read more about it over here!)

Caroline wore the complete set for this year’s Rose Ball. Here you can see the earrings and the necklace.
