Jewelry Sets Information

Sets are more than one matching piece of the same design. The French word
"parure" is used to describe a set. They can be some variety of gemstone, intended to
be worn at the same time such as a necklace, bracelet, brooch, or earrings. The modern term is sometimes called a ‘suite.'
Less than a full set is called a "demi-parure." Such assemblages of jewelry became fashionable in the second half
of the 16th century and were revived in the 19th century;
they were made with diamonds for formal wear and other gemstones for daytime
wear.
