Jewelry that combines fragments of different jewels into something new is called "Mariage", from the French word for marriage. Mostly Mariages were and are made when an older piece of jewelry is no longer wearable, or no longer corresponded to the fashion. Here, elements of an early 19th century piece of jewelry are combined with a modern cut aquamarine to create a great pin. The eventful history of the piece of jewelry can be read in the details of the brooch. Because some alterations and repairs let us know that the brooch was probably once an element of another piece of jewelry. Possibly it adorned a large bouquet of flowers made of diamonds, which was worn as a devant-de-corsage in front of the chest. Then, in the course of the following counter-rations, the piece of jewelry was restored again and again, and yet at a later time it was disassembled into its individual elements. Perhaps at the moment of an inheritance. In the process, one end of the loop was renewed, moreover, one or the other diamond was replaced again and again. Then, more recently, a light blue aquamarine in a faceted briolette cut completed the Mariage - adding something blue to what was old and borrowed between generations. So the Mariage is perfect!
