So I made a little cash-check, for an overview. Not complete, I hope: Sets: Denmark: Emerald Parure SwedenLeuchtenberg GBTurqouise Parure (Gloucester) GB:Turqouise Parure (PMargret) GermanyTurqouise Parure of Sachsen-Coburg GermanyWürttemberg Pink Topaz Parure GermanyBavarian Ruby Parure (Spinell) of Queen Therese now in the Residenz München Italy/SavoyPink Topaz Parure LuxemburgTurquoise Parure NetherlandsMellerio Ruby Parure NetherlandsEmerald Parure NetherlandsPeacock Ruby Parure For swedish Cameo Parure I´m not sure if it was made as a set, neither for the Netherland House Diamond Parure, which is not not seen for decades, for the Norway Emerald Parure and the Württemberg Ruby Parure. For the status of the French Sapphire Parure in the Louvre (Queen Amelie Sapphire Parure and Queen Hortense Sapphire Parure) I need the help of our french fellows. NetherlandsWedding gift Sapphire Parure (current status: broken) GB:Sapphire Parure now with Kent (current status: broken. Tiara sold) Some often seen parures are 'composite' parure: DenmarkRuby parure GreeceRuby Parure (composite, too, I think) GreeceEmerald Parure GBAquamarine NetherlandsQueen Emma Sapphire Parure SpainAquamarine Parure The british Kent Amethyst Parure is demi parure. A remarkable surviving set is the Bagration Spinell Parure of the Dukes of Westminster. From time to time something pops up in a auction, recently one or two sapphire parures from Italy. I hope that something sleeps in the Thurn und Taxis vaults. The Prussian sapphire and ruby parures might be gone, I guess. Did I mentioned the once so beautiful Peridot Parure of Archduchess Isabella, now torn apart? --Previous Message-- : : --Previous Message-- : Are we talking about Parures which were : created as such or do we also count : composited parures. : : The Dutch Sapphire Parure was not created as : such but generally these jewels are : considered part of the parure: : : Tiara by Mellerio (design Oscar Masin) : Necklace (originally a dog collar) by : Mellerio - now converted to a tiara : Bracelets (pair) by Mellerio : Devant de Corsage (Bow Brooch) origin : unknown : : Some might consider Queen Emma's oval : diamond and sapphire pendant (one of the : first presents she received from King Willem : III) also part of the parure. : : * the small brooch worn by Queen Juliana on : her sash is not part of the parure. : : : : More here : : A good example of a complete parure is the : Dutch Ruby Parure created by Mellerio for : Queen Emma: : : Tiara : Necklace : Brooch : Devant de Corsage : Bracelet : Fan (added by Mellerio as a gift) : : : : More here : : --Previous Message-- : Sapphire Parure or Queen Emma's Grand Parure : in the netherlands : its a et of jewllery which has grown a : Parure : * Tiara The centre piece (brooch) is : detachable : * choker Necklace today its worn as a tiara : * 2 bracelets motifs can be worn as brooches : * devant de corsage : * pendent : * brooch : * bow brooch : : : : : --Previous Message-- : What parts are in the Parure and why is it : the : most complete, Give it a thought : : Does a tiara need to be in a Parure? : : : : : : : :
