The British Cambridge/Delhi Durbar Emerald Parure is to be considered a complete parure, as it was all made and remodelled the same time by Garrard, for the occasion of the Delhi Durbar.
Consisting of:
The Delhi Durbar Tiara (With emerald spikes)
The Cambridge Emerald Necklace
The Ladies of India Necklace (Despite being a gift from the Ladies of India was made as part of the Parure, by Garrard, and designed by the same designers. As the Royal Collection say, "At the Queen’s suggestion, it was designed to match her other emerald jewellery created for the Delhi Durbar".)
The Stomacher
The Earrings
The Bracelet
Thus it can be considered a complete parure. Although it is no longer worn as such, it was made en suite, by Queen Mary as a full parure to be worn by her at the Delhi Durbar, using a mix of historic emeralds, indian emeralds and emeralds provided by Garrards.
