Parure

View through Europeana Collections
Sets of jewellery, called parures, could comprise various pieces. Displayed here are a necklace, earrings and a pair of bracelets. The highlight is the comb, which was worn on the hair like a crown. Each costume called for a different kind of parure. The wife of an Utrecht judge had at least four gold sets: one without jewels, one with blue stones, one with red, and one with pearls.
