Anything is possible but you also have to consider the different shades of the Aquamarines. The colour of Aquamarines can differ quite a lot. And most of these jewels were not bought as a set, nor at the same jeweller or even the same decade! Through the years I have noticed that also in this collection the various stones have different shades so you might not be able to combine all of them too closely. For instance the Aquamarines in the tiara and large briolette pendant earrings and even the Belle Epoque sautoir necklace have a similar but lighter colour or intensity while the large pear shaped Aquamarine set in diamonds and the other sets of earrings has a more bright vibrant light blue tone. Reason why these were combined in Spain I think.
