Parure
A parure is a matching suite of jewellery — necklace, earrings, brooch and more — designed to be worn together.
What is a parure?
A parure is a complete coordinated set, traditionally including a necklace, earrings, brooch and bracelet. A smaller set of two or three matching pieces is a demi-parure.
History & why it matters
Parures were the height of Georgian and Victorian formal dressing; complete original suites are now rare and prized.
