These pieces demonstrate my current fascination with 17th century European parures, matching jewelry sets comprised of modular components. Cleverly the parure could be disassembled into different parts or easily remade to stay fashionable.
An inherent narrative is created through this interchangeability. How does a collection of objects interact? How does this change when the collective group is disassembled? How does this disassembly affect the overall narrative?
