Portrait of Jane Seymour wearing a parure which matches her dress by Hans Holbein
A parure is a full set of matching jewelry which is comprised of a necklace, two bracelets, a ring, earrings, brooch and sometimes a tiara or other hair ornament. A demi-parure is a less elaborate suite of - usually - a necklace, earrings and a brooch.
