Formal eighteenth and nineteeth century jewelry was very often made in parures: boxed jewels of uniform design set with matching stones. These could be found in small sets, called demi-parures, containing as little as two or three pieces. But when it came to evening attire, wealthy women might own an extensive parure with as many as sixteen matching pieces all beautifully arrayed in a decorative box. These parures might contain a necklace, earrings, hair ornaments, brooches, bracelets, and pendants.
