In its most general sense, a parure is a decoration or ornament made for personal wear. However, the term is most often used to describe a matched set of jewelry or other ornaments, such as embroideries. For jewelry, a typical parure consists of a necklace, earrings, brooch and a bracelet (or two bracelets). In Victorian times, two bracelets was the norm. Today, many people wear wristwatches, so a modern parure includes a single bracelet.
