[News] Sold Out in One Minute: maruo's Costume Jewelry Rental Service Launches

2021.02.18 published

That Brand Can Be Rented!

Hello, this is Haruno Tsuzaki, the editor of marry♡

Recently, I would like to introduce a service that I personally think is "amazing!"

It’s an online rental service called 'merwedding'. Did you all know about it already??

Merwedding is characterized by the ability to rent accessories from famous brands.

In particular, I've been keeping an eye on it since I heard that items from Hitomi Maruo’s costume jewelry brand "maruo" can be rented!

About Maruo＊

Maruo is a brand that creates unique and beautiful accessories made from vintage chandelier parts from France.

Producer Maruo has many fans on social media, and during sales, accessories that were prepared in the hundreds sell out in just one minute. I remember being shocked when I heard that rentals started because I thought, "I want one too, but it’s super popular, so I probably can’t get one….”

With rentals, I’m happy as I won’t have to join the competition!

Moreover.

The brand’s motto is “For the environment, we use parts that are already in the world for maruo's jewelry. We do not create new ones.” I think rental (sharing) fits perfectly with this policy, and I found it wonderful♡

You Can Rent These♡

Here are some maruo jewels you can rent through the merwedding service.

✅ “Soleil”

Maruo earrings that combine clear flower parts and delicate lace-like decorations.

✅ “Lustre -argent-”

The most popular series at maruo, these are the earrings from lustre.

This design was born from the desire of Maruo to make the flower parts, which were supporting roles in chandeliers, "the main character this time."

Here’s how they look when worn.

They look wonderful, resembling transparent lilies of the valley.

✅ “Nouvelle vague”

Large flower motifs that sway near the ears are handcrafted from vintage parts. Although they are big earrings, they have a see-through quality, so they aren't too heavy, and they also create a slimming effect!

✅ “Couronne de Soleil”

A headpiece from maruo that luxuriously uses vintage chandelier crystals from France. The bronze fittings are recommended to pair with antique-style dresses.

✅ “Couronne d’Anges”

A headpiece remade from fittings used in book covers from the late 19th century.

The gold is tinted with pale blue and pink, creating a timeless and fantastical beauty＊

✅ “L’Astrologie”

The female motif reminiscent of Art Nouveau is from decorative fittings found in vintage furniture in France.

The elegant curves made of silver exude a unique romanticism.

✅ “Marilyn”

Lucite, which is no longer produced today, is a type of plastic characterized by beautiful marble patterns. The white-based bag is also charming as it easily pairs with both patterned and plain dresses.

✅ “Emma”

This box bag made in France around the 1950s is a rare item made from marble-patterned plastic. The handle is actually a vintage cutlery rest!

The handle and chain can be detached, allowing it to be used as a clutch bag.

✅ “Jean”

A square bag made of translucent clear acrylic.

It features a combination of decorative fittings from antique French furniture made over 100 years ago, showcasing Maruo’s unique style＊

And more.

The rental price is a flat 6,500 yen for earrings for 3 nights and 4 days, 22,000 yen for headpieces, and about 8,000 yen for bags.

Not only can you rent them for your wedding as bridal jewelry, but you’ll also want to rent them for special events or when invited to your friends’ weddings or parties♩

Two More Brands♡

Merwedding also offers brands other than Maruo.

One of them includes premium accessories from orgablanca, which offer a higher level for brides.

“SAHRA crown” ¥25,300 (tax included)

“ORTO crown” ¥22,000 (tax included)

The other includes brands not yet available in Japan, selected by Mer buyers as "International wedding".

“Blossom twigs headpiece” ¥23,100 (tax included)

A delicate accessory made of cool clay flowers and leaves.

“La Marguerite comb” ¥19,800 (tax included)

Special Accessories for Special Days♡

Accessories for weddings.

To be honest, the online store items you can buy for the same price as renting from merwwdding often have cute designs but are mostly mass-produced, made with cheap materials and workmanship.

It’s often heard that after just one use, stones fall off or wires break, making it difficult to resell on Mercari....

If you're going to spend money anyway, it’s more luxurious to choose high-quality items crafted by artisans in ateliers, rather than disposable ones.

(They truly look “high-end” in the real sense!)
