The Grimaldis of Monaco gathered in the principality on Saturday to celebrate National Day, and there were some rather elegant and interesting jewels on display for this year’s festivities.

National Day, which is also called the Sovereign Prince’s Day (La Fête du Prince) in Monaco, has been held annually on November 19 for decades. The entire Grimaldi family traditionally participates in various celebrations throughout the day, many of which are located at the Palais Princier.

Little Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella joined their parents for the celebrations at the palace. Jacques was dapper in a miniature uniform, and Gabriella was adorable in a red coat with black accessories, including a little black hat. Both of the children wore the insignia of the Order of Grimaldi, a decoration they received on the day of their baptism.
![Princess Caroline of Hanover attends a mass ceremony at the Monaco cathedral as part of ceremonies marking the National Day in Monaco on November 19, 2022](https://i0.wp.com/www.thecourtjeweller.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/2022-1121-01-monaco11.jpg?resize=1200%2C1580&ssl=1)

Caroline has been wearing the brooch for decades. Here, she wears the jewel in October 2002 for the Princess Grace Awards in New York.

Beatrice Borromeo Casiraghi, wife of Pierre Casiraghi, was ultra-elegant as usual in bright red with a burgundy hat. As you might expect, her gold jewels were from Buccellati. (She’s the face of the Italian jewelry firm.)

Princess Charlene was incredibly chic in a navy blue gown by Terrence Bray, one of her favorite recent designers. She carried a gold clutch bag and wore the sash and star of the Order of Saint-Charles.

Princess Caroline wore a flowing navy blue gown (Chanel, naturally) with the insignia of the Order of Saint-Charles and fabulous jewels from her collection.
![Princess Caroline of Hanover attend a Gala at the Grimaldi Forum during the Monaco National Day on November 19, 2022 in Monte-Carlo, Monaco](https://i0.wp.com/www.thecourtjeweller.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/2022-1121-01-monaco25.jpg?resize=1200%2C1800&ssl=1)
She wore a demi-parure of jewelry featuring carved blue gemstones (aquamarines, I believe) set with diamonds, gold, and black accents (enamel, surely?). The set includes earrings, a necklace, and a ring. She also used an enormous aquamarine brooch to secure her order sash.
The carved gem suite has been in Caroline’s collection for almost 40 years. Here, she wears it for the Red Cross Gala in 1975.
![Princess Caroline of Hanover arrives at the Rose Ball 2005 at The Sporting Monte Carlo on March 19, 2005 in Monte Carlo, Monaco](https://i0.wp.com/www.thecourtjeweller.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/2022-1121-01-monaco26.jpg?resize=1200%2C1778&ssl=1)
She’s worn the pieces numerous times since. Here, she wears them at the Rose Ball in 2005.
![Princess Caroline of Monaco and designer Karl Lagerfeld attend a cocktail reception at the Monaco Red Cross Ball, under the Presidency of HSH Prince Albert II, in the Salles des Etoiles at the Sporting Monte Carlo on August 4, 2006 in Monte Carlo, Monaco](https://i0.wp.com/www.thecourtjeweller.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/2022-1121-01-monaco27.jpg?resize=1200%2C1666&ssl=1)
The aquamarine and diamond brooch has been in her collection for years, too. Here, she wears the fabulous piece pinned to the neckline of her gown at the Red Cross Gala in 2006. She’s also wearing a second huge aquamarine as a pendant on a necklace, because, well, why not?
![Gareth Wittstock, Beatrice Borromeo, Princess Caroline of Hanover, Prince Albert II of Monaco, Princess Charlene of Monaco, Tatiana Santo Domingo, Andrea Casiraghi, Charlotte Casiraghi and Dimitri Rassam attend a Gala at the Grimaldi Forum during the Monaco National Day on November 19, 2022 in Monte-Carlo, Monaco](https://i0.wp.com/www.thecourtjeweller.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/2022-1121-01-monaco28.jpg?resize=1075%2C2115&ssl=1)
For Saturday’s gala, Tatiana Casiraghi wore a black velvet gown that came with its own embellishments in the form of a sequin sun, moon, and star.
![Charlotte Casiraghi and Dimitri Rassam attend a Gala at the Grimaldi Forum during the Monaco National Day on November 19, 2022 in Monte-Carlo, Monaco](https://i0.wp.com/www.thecourtjeweller.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/2022-1121-01-monaco29.jpg?resize=1200%2C1800&ssl=1)
Charlotte Casiraghi chose a plaid tweed gown from Chanel for the gala.

She wore a pair of statement earrings with the dress that coordinate almost perfectly with the colors and embellishments of the gown—perhaps they were made to go along with it?

And finally, Beatrice Borromeo Casiraghi was a golden goddess in Dior. She wore a pair of gold and baroque pearl earrings with her ensemble—more Buccellati?
