Our Story: As a child, I marveled at my mother’s jewelry collection. Some of the pieces in her collection had belonged to her grandmother and/or her great-grandmother. I especially loved to select a piece of jewelry and hear the story of what made that piece of jewelry so special to my mother, grandmother, and/or her great-grandmother. The stories made that piece of jewelry priceless; and, I eagerly awaited the day that I would own and wear that piece of jewelry. The jewelry collection, described above, inspired the name of our boutique. Pareure (Pa`rure") is a French term that was used in the 17th century to describe a matching set of ornaments or decoration for the person. Today, we refer to the ornaments or decoration as jewelry and 'matching set' has a many different meanings.
Our Mission: The mission of Pareure is to design and fabricate jewelry whose value is defined by the legacy that is created and left for future generations. This mission requires us to develop designs that will transcend time and use materials that will withstand the test of time. Each piece of jewelry is made by hand in our studio. The Pareure staff is also available to restring and repair jewelry.
