Parures—coordinated sets of jewelry—were especially popular from the Victorian era through the mid-20th century. Whether complete or partial, these matched sets show the designer’s vision across multiple forms: necklace, earrings, brooch, bracelet, and sometimes even tiaras. They’re striking, collectible, and often more than the sum of their parts.

Check that components match in design, materials, and patina. Some sets may have been added to over time or reconfigured. Condition and originality matter—signed or boxed sets can carry a premium. Confirm that clasps and closures function across all included items.

Victorian parures often featured matching gemstone elements in ornate gold settings. Art Deco sets favored geometric coordination, often in white metals. Mid-century parures from designers like Weiss or Trifari embraced rhinestones and color, creating glamorous eveningwear looks. Even partial sets are collectible and highly wearable.

Mix and match pieces from a parure to create different looks, or wear the full set for drama. A brooch and earrings combination works for work or formal events, while necklace and bracelet pairings lend polish to everyday wear. You don’t have to wear every piece at once—though when you do, the effect is unforgettable.
