Parure
A parure is a set of various items of matching jewellery, which rose to popularity in the 17th century.
Beyond various items of matching sets jewelry, a parure was considered an entire wardrobe of jewelry for both men and women alike. Reserved for royalty and the wealthier classes, no woman was considered socially acceptable without a complete wardrobe of jewelry that defined her status, strength and political power. And the parure was not static, but could be remade into more fashionable jewelry in order to stay ‘Au courant’ in the court and fashion forward for the times. Members of court and higher social ranking vied for the best jewelers to create the most imaginative and elaborate collections that would astound one another. Some necklaces could be disassembled into bracelets, pendants, hair ornaments, brooches with clever interchangeable components and locking systems. From Old French, parure means adornment, from the verb parer, to adorn.
