Australian said:I think it was the film "High Society" that the engagement ring Grace Kelly wears in the film is actually her real one from Ranier. So maybe there are close-ups in the film.
I found some pics form Hogh Society with her wearing a ring, so maybe this is the ring.

This is not her engagement ring. Maybe he gave this to her to wear while the emerald cut one was being made. I know the one from High Society was a BIG ring.
When Rainier proposed, it was basically their second meeting (after Cannes, they corresponded through letters, hence the the press never caught wind of their courtship), so he did not have a proper engagement ring. The ring shown off at the press conference at the Kelly home was more of a temporary friendship ring from I read in biographies of Grace.If I'm not mistaken, that is her first engagement ring. I read somewhere that Prince Rainier saw other Hollywood actresses wearing a bigger rock, so he decided to give Grace that 12 carat emerald-cut diamond ring..
