Indeed, Princess Grace of Monaco was a faithful customer of the house of 13 rue de la paix and it is thus natural that this one contributed to the film by lending sets of high jewellery but also by realizing in its workshops copies of jewels (in agreement with the palace of Monaco) which were worn by her Highness. Copies that appear on screen to magnify, among others, Nicole Kidman in the title role.

Among the pieces that marked the link between the jewellery house and the princess was the engagement ring given to her by Prince Rainier III in 1956: a platinum piece set with a 10.47-carat emerald-cut diamond, a ring that the princess never left. For her wedding, several pieces were sent to her by the House: a three-row diamond necklace and a tiara set with diamonds and rubies. There was also one of her favourite brooches representing a poodle, which she wore very regularly.
