Parure and Demi Parure


Parure and demi parure are often heard in regards to vintage jewelry. Parure is from the French, it’s literal meaning is is a matched set of adornments,

A parure is a matching set or suite of jewelry, officially it is five matching pieces of jewelry including a necklace, a pair of earrings, a brooch, a bracelet and a ring. A parure was originally a sign of royalty and great wealth in the 17th century. Parures became popular in costume jewelry in the 20th century. Very few jewelers include a ring in their designs so a 3 or 4 piece set is considered a parure and of course 2 or 3 matching pieces is a demi parure.

It is rare ( not impossible ) to find full parures in vintage jewelry today. Sometime collectors will collect and hunt for one piece at a time.
