Parure refers to a set of matching jewelry meant to be worn together.  Such as a necklace, brooch, bracelet, and earrings, considered as a “full parure”. A semi, or demi parure would consist of just two or three matching items such as earrings and a necklace, or a brooch and bracelet set. The word parure is derived from an old French word meaning to adorn or to embellish oneself.
