Married Set vs Demi or Full Parure

Marriage in Lemon Yellow (married parure)

Above you'll find an example of a nice 'marriage' of individual components of jewelry that have the same or very similar color value that have been put together in a married set. In other words, they are not a true demi or full parure and 'sets' such as these should never be represented as such.

In this photo, one can easily tell from the differing finishes and styles that while the colors match perfectly this is definitely not an original matched set.

I married them because I felt that they would look nice photographed together, and, when offering them for sale in my shop, they might be attractive to someone shopping for a set in this color to wear to a summer event of any kind.

I love and will spend hours manipulating the jewelry for my shoots in order to showcase their artistry.

The earrings and brooch have an AB or aurora borealis coating.
The lucite necklace has clear lucite discs and silvery gold divider beads that beautifully reflect the soft lemon yellow color.

The stamens on the brooch are all AB coated pronged rhinestones.

This set is available in my Etsy shop where you may see it by clicking on my avatar in the upper left of this blog page.

Please see my archives for other great posts about Rockabilly, New Look and other great vintage photos as well as other things from my personal collections and/or offered in the shop;

Have a peaceful weekend,
