A tiara, a broach, a bracelet, lets see, what else...peacechick|1371611932|3468483 said:The earrings are so beautiful! I love how the colors go together. So would we call the set a parure or a demi parure? Or would you need a tiara to call it that?
Wiki:
A matching suite of coordinating pieces could include a necklace, a comb, a tiara, a diadem, a bandeau, a pair of bracelets, pins, rings, drop earrings or cluster stud earrings, brooch and a belt clasp that might be worn over a fine dress.
Well heck! Seems as though most of the people on PS have demi-parures with that definition!eBay:
A demi parure is a matching set of jewelry, usually containing a necklace, earrings, and/or a pin.
EXAMPLES:
Necklace and Matching Earrings
Bracelet and Matching Necklace
Bracelet and Matching Earrings
Pin/Brooch and Matching Earrings
Pin/Brooch and Matching Necklace
Pin/Brooch and Matching Bracelet
If you have more pieces that match they are called a Parure. If you have all the pieces that were designed as a set, they are called a Grand Parure.
It's totally a word. hahaha!!!! Love it!misskittycat|1371706120|3469134 said:Love the earring drops!! So cool and I adore that they are different. The pink sapphires really heighten the lavenderness (is that a word? I'm making it a word) of your beautiful spinels. Congrats on a fabulous custom piece!
