Metamorphoses by Manalys

The fine Jewelry Manalys innovates and dives into its imagination to bring old creations back into a
modern style. The House declines and reinvents some pieces, including the "belt brooch", which
combine authenticity and modernity.

Since the dawn of mankind, beauty and personal expression have played a major role in our lives. Among
the countless forms of expression, jewellery occupies a special place.

"Nothing is lost (….), everything is transformed" - Antoine de Lavoisier

In this way, Manalys honours the epitome, between noble materials and exceptional stones that take
shape in our workshop. Whether they come from our jewellery box or belong to you, Manalys is
committed to adapting pieces that want a new look.

From a brooch to a hip jewel

One of our customers relied on our mastery to redesign his brooch. But does that mean destroying the
jewel to create a new one? The fruit of this conversation led us to keep the essence of the brooch and
revive it in a new light.

This accessory, a precious part of the world of jewellery, has never ceased to evolve through the ages.
And although this embellished fibula is one of the oldest masterpieces in the history of jewellery, it can
sometimes be complicated to bring it up to date.

It was through discussion and experimentation that we came up with a new way of imagining it, giving it a
new lease of life as a belt buckle or choker. Now worn at the waist or around the nape of the neck, this
variation has gone from being a fashion accessory to a genuine piece of modern jewellery.

Between exchange and sharing

In a spirit of sharing between Belgian craftsmen, Manalys has collaborated with "La Maroquinerie" to
deploy a made-to-measure croco bet for us.

Finally, it was in our workshop Boulevard de Waterloo, that the circle of white gold tied with its diamond
feather embraced the belt.

Here is a work which, together, will have made it possible to complete this beautiful project, not to say
"this beautiful belt". Fond of challenges and full of inspiration, we welcome you to discuss about yours.
Since we all certainly have a period jewel at the bottom of our jewelry box, entrust your piece to our
master jewelers to restore its shine, chic and allure under the contemporary symbol.
